ESP - Electrostatic Precipitator

An Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) is an air pollution control device that removes fine particulate matter (dust, smoke, and ash) from exhaust gases using electrostatic forces. It is widely used in power plants, cement industries, steel plants, and other industrial processes to control emissions and comply with environmental regulations.

Working Principle

Ionization: A high-voltage electrode charges the incoming dust particles. Collection: The charged particles are attracted to oppositely charged collecting plates. Cleaning: The plates are periodically rapped or vibrated to remove the accumulated dust, which falls into hoppers for disposal.
