Optimising ESP Operations
There is an increasing worldwide focus on reducing the environmental impact of
energy production and industrial activities from governments and through public
pressure. Alstom has the technology and experience to reduce these emissions,
and has implemented its know-how in the advanced EPIC III Electrostatic
Precipitator (ESP) control system.
Alstom is a global
leader in power

Lustomer benets
Considerably reduces emission levels.
Siqnicantly reduces enerqy consumtion
providing a short return on investment.
Provides increased exibility because ol Lthernet
communication (ModBus TCP).
A range of strong features for rapper optimisation
extending the service life of the ESP, with fewer
unscheduled outages.
Easily replaces other ESP controllers.
Alstom has always strived to optimise ESP operations.
Since the 1920s Alstom has been at the forefront
in ndinq ways to otimise the oeration ol LSP
to maximise the LSP collection elciency With the
introduction of the EPIC micro-processor based
controller in 1982, ESP performance could be drastically
improved. EPIC is now the most widely spread controller
on the market worldwide. The third generation of EPIC,
EPIC III is equipped with the highest level of hardware
and software sophistication and is ready to support our
customers in reaching their emission targets.

Alstom Solution
A well-designed and properly tuned control system is
crucial lor hiqh collection elciency lonq equiment lile and
optimised power consumption. The robust EPIC III combines
optimum control of the T/R set and the rapping system. Plant
secic oerational arameters can be installed on the LPl
III using the six available operation modes. These parameters
can be further tuned to provide optimised ESP operations
and to extend equipment lifetime. The EPIC III Ethernet

Design features
EPOQ - Electrostatic Precipitator Optimising of Charge
LP0 continuously maximises the LSPs collection elciency throuqh an automatic
otimisation ol each individual eld Jhe back corona is reduced resultinq in
reduced dust emissions and power consumption. Each EPIC III operates as a stand-
alone unit Should one unit be taken out ol oeration the downstream elds will
adapt automatically to the new situation. EPOQ gradually adjusts the parameters
individually in each bus-section based on the detected amount of backcorona.
OpOpt - Opacity Optimisation
OpOpt is a function that uses the opacity signal to reduce energy consumption.
The operating parameters are automatically tuned in relation to the actual emission
levels.
PCR - Power Control Rapping
As standard, EPIC III has six individual timers for each of the rapper drives. This
allows a very advanced optimisation of the rapping sequence to be made. The dust
retaining force is reduced during rapping through an advanced control loop in the
EPIC III. This results in cleaner electrodes, reduced emissions and a longer service
life for the ESP.
Simple upgrade to EPIC III
Jo lacilitate modernisation ol your LSP control system there are retrot kits
suitable for any thyristor controlled T/R unit. An upgrade can be carried out quickly
giving the ESP all the advantages of the EPIC III system. This can be done by only
replacing the controller and without the need to replace the T/R units or the control
cabinet.
ProMo
Alstoms process control and monitoring system provides operational personnel
with full-colour graphics, data logging and alarm handling. It also provides remote
service and tuning capabilities for off-site access to ESP diagnostics. This leads to
reduced downtime as well as fast access to process specialists.
