    An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) removes dust particles from gas streams using electrostatic attraction. It works by charging particles with a high voltage discharge electrode, which ionizes gas molecules. The ionized gas then charges dust particles as they move towards grounded collection electrodes. Highly efficient ESPs allow gas to flow through while removing fine particulate matter like dust and smoke. As environmental regulations have tightened, ESPs have become crucial for reducing industrial emissions.

    Electrostatic precipitator (ESP)- PRINCIPLE :An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a device that removes dust particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using force of an induced electrostatic attraction (i.e. like charges repel; unlike charges attract) Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient filtration devices that allow flow of gases through device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as dust and smoke from air stream.

    ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

    environment protection has become a crucial problem and the authorities are requested to set increasingly more stringent limits , one of which is the emissions from the industrial plants of solid particulate and other gaseous pollutants.

    Hooper

    Control cabinet Control cabinet is used to interconnect the 3 ac supply and transformer through cables Transformer Transformer is used to step up or step down voltage as per design of Electrostatic precipitator. Rectifier Rectifier is used to convert ac supply into dc supply.

    Hooper Hooper is used to store dust particles and ash content coming out from the Electrostatic precipitator.

    Electrodes : Based on DC current flow terminals electrodes can be divided as below:-

    Collector electrodes

    Discharge electrode :Electrodes wire which carries negatively charged high voltage (between 20 to 80KV) act as discharge or emitting electrodes. Collector electrode :Electrode plate / wire which carries positively charged high voltage act as Collecting electrodes.

    Main process of ESP

    Processes of electrostatic precipitator are in three main stages: particle charging, transport collection

    MECHANISM OF ESP

    Mechanism of electrostatic precipitator

    WORKING OF ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR


    Stage - 1 Several things happen very rapidly (in a matter of a millisecond) in the small area around the discharge electrode. Electric field is emerged due to dc terminal arrangement. The applied (-) voltage in discharge electrode is increased until it produces a corona discharge, which can be seen as a luminous blue glow around discharge Electrode.

    Due to the formation of corona discharge, free electrons are emitted with high velocity from discharge electrode.

    This fast moving free electrons strikes gas molecule thus emission of free electron from gas molecules takes place. The positive ion molecule move towards discharge electrode by electrostatic attraction As a result with gas molecule more free electrons are emitted near the discharge electrode.

    Stage - 2 As electrons leave strong electrical field area around discharge electrode, they start slowing down. This free electron again strikes gas molecule but this time they are captured by gas molecule and become negatively charged ion. As gas molecule are negatively ionized they move towards (+) electrode (i.e. collector electrode). This negative gas ion fills space of Dust particle and becoming negatively charged particle. This particle are captured by collector electrode using electrostatic attraction.
