GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrostatic precipitators, such as the one shown here, work
by exposing particles in the feed stream to an electrostatic
field. The particles are small and easily collect a charge. The
charged particles are then collected and removed by
collectors that are oppositely charged.

The collectors get covered with particles and are cleaned off
periodically. The particles are generally discarded but can be
further processed if profitable.

Electrostatic precipitators can collect a variety of particles

from a gas stream. The table below shows the wide range of
collection sizes in gas streams, from as small as x-rays and
smog to as large as fly ash and pulverized coal.

Electrostatic Precipitator Collection Range EQUIPMENT DESIGN

Electrostatic precipitators can be designed for horizontal flow or
vertical flow. The schematic below shows a vertical flow electrostatic
precipitator. The feed gas enters near the bottom and rises to the
top. As it enters, the stream passes electrodes creating an electric
field that gives the particles a charge, usually negative. When the
stream reaches the collectors, the particles are attracted to the
grounded surface that is oppositely charged. The collector can take
one of four shapes: parallel, round, hexagonal, or square. Each
design has its tradeoffs in terms of space requirements, collection
surface, power intensity, and maintenance. The feed stream, now
free of particles, exits out the top of the precipitator. Electrostatic
precipitators usually have efficiencies of greater than 99%.

In addition to horizontal versus vertical flow, electrostatic

precipitators include wet and dry precipitators. A third, specialized
type of electrostatic precipitator is a desalter, which removes salts
and sediment from crude oil streams.

Wet ESPs (WESPs) operate on gas streams that are

saturated to near-100% water content. Particles that
accumulate on the collector surfaces are removed by
either an intermittent flushing or a continuous
application of water, which can be recirculated after
pollutants are removed. This wet technology offers
several advantages over others.

It uses less energy than dry ESPs, which must use some
power to drive mechanical rappers to dislodge
accumulated particulates from collector plates. Washing
versus rapping also reduces the risk of re-entrainment of
particulates into the gas stream. Further, because
WESPs operate on saturated gas streams, and at lower
temperatures,
Wet Electrostatic Precipitators
In wet electrostatic precipitators, charged particles (green) are collected onto the collectors as seen in
the animation here. As the particles accumulate on the collector, a liquid (blue), typically water, runs
down the plates. The water collects and removes the particles from the plates.
