Based on: Industry Standards and Best Practices

Languages: English

Many industrial processes, including kraft recovery boilers, discharge spent gases to the atmosphere. Particulate matter emissions are strictly monitored in all industrial plants due to increasingly stringent government regulations. The purpose of an electrostatic precipitator, or ESP , is to remove particulate matter, or ash, from combustion discharge gases. This module describes the purpose, components, function, and safety guidelines of a precipitator.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose of a precipitator
  • Identify and describe the major components of an electrostatic precipitator
  • Describe the function of plate-wire precipitators
  • Identify performance problems associated with precipitators
  • Describe typical auxiliary and support systems of precipitators
  • Identify and describe the safety hazards and safe work practices associated with precipitators

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is the purpose of an electrostatic precipitator?
The purpose of an electrostatic precipitator is to remove particulate matter from discharged industrial gases.

How do electrostatic precipators capture particles?
Electrostatic precipitators impart negative charge to incoming particles. The negatively charged particles are removed from the gas stream when they are attracted to positively charged collection plates.

How are captured particles removed from an ESP?
Captured particles form a layer of dust on the collection plates. The plates are rapped or shaken to loosen the dust so it can fall to the bottom of the precipitator.

Can ESP's remove all pollution from a combustion gas stream?
ESPs can only remove particulate matter, pollutant gases such as sulfur dioxide pass through.

What kind of electricity is used in an ESP?
Electrostatic precipitators operate on very high direct current (DC) voltage.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

ESPs work on the principle that opposites attract to each other. In plate wire precipitators, exhaust gas flows through parallel plates of sheet metal. Between each row of plates hangs a row of high voltage electrode. This design allows many flow lanes operating in parallel. Therefore, they are well suited to handle large volumes of exhaust gas. As the exhaust gas passes between the plates, high voltage applied to the electrodes cause the particulate in the gas stream to become negatively charged. The negatively charged particulate is attracted to the positively charged plates and is collected on the plates. Wrappers shake lose particulate from the plates, which falls into collection hoppers for removal.

Customer Q&A

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provided.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
