Dust Collector Sizing

[cheme2016]

I need to evaluate an existing dust collector. I never sized a dust collector, so I need help if anyone knows how to size and select a dust collector.Thank you!

It used to be that a velocity of 200 feet per minute at all locations that the fan draws from would provide an acceptable design. This was underground where flow would be at grizzly bars , ore passes, conveyor transfer chutes etc.
