Question

What are Electrostatic Precipitators?

Answer 1

Electrostatic Precipitators:

1. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) removes particles from a gas stream by charging particles positively or negatively with electrical energy.
2. The charged particles are then drawn to collector plates that are charged in the opposite direction.
3. The collected particles can be removed from the collector plates as dry material (dry ESPs) or washed away with water (wet ESPs).
4. ESPs can achieve collection efficiencies of more than 99 percent.
