What Is An Electrostatic Precipitator And How Does It Work?

Electrostatic precipitator, a device that uses an electric charge to remove certain impurities either solid particles and/or liquid droplets from air or other gases in smokestacks and other flues. The precipitator functions by applying energy to the particulate matter being collected, without significantly impeding the flow of gases. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are used for air pollution control, particularly for removing harmful particulate matter from waste gases at industrial facilities and power-generating stations as well as for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials. The ESPs comes in two variants, Dry ESP and Wet ESP.

Well explained 👍

Agreed, very well explained. I have maintained small ESPs on marine diesel engines, but had no idea how it would scale up to a power plant.
