Collection Efficiency of an ESP | Electrostatic Precipitators | Environmental Engineering

The overall collection efficiency of an ESP is given by the famous Deustsch Anderson equation. where, f = specific collection area of the electrode and Ud = average migration velocity of the charges dust particles towards the collection electrode. where, n = number of channels used in parallel to the gas stream in a stage, l = length of the [...]

Control of Gaseous and Odour Emission | Environmental Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the application of adsorption for control of gaseous and odour emission. 1. Vapour Recovery in Process Industries: Major applications are in the recovery of solvents from air stream that are free from particulate matter and whose vapor concentrations are above 700 ppm. Activated carbon has been found very effective in adsorption of various [...]

Charging of Particles among Field Lines | Environmental Engineering

When high voltage is established between a pair of electrodes, an electric field is established. Charged particles like electrons and ions, under certain conditions, move along the field lines. Particles with a negative charge migrate in the direction of the positive electrode and particles with a positive charge in the opposite direction towards the negative electrode. Fig. 9.1 gives a [...]

Electrostatic Precipitators: Meaning and Principles | Environmental Engineering

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Electrostatic Precipitators 2. Principles of Electrical Precipitation 3. Process 4. Merits and Demerits. Meaning of Electrostatic Precipitator: Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) remove the gas borne particulate matter and the mist (liquid droplets) from the flue gas stream due to the action of electrostatic forces. When the gas stream passes through an [...]

Electrode Configurations and Rapping (With Diagram)| Environmental Engineering

For large throughput rates, plate type precipitators are almost exclusively used. These are of two type horizontal flow or vertical flow type-the former being preferred most even though it has a serious drawback in the amount of floor space occupied. Horizontal flow types are grouped into sections, arranged in series, so that the gas leaving one section enters the next [...]

Dust Collection Devices | Particulate Control | Environmental Engineering

Depending upon the collection efficiency, capacity and operation mode, the dust collection devices are divided in the following three categories: 1. Internal Separators 2. Wet Collection Devices 3. Electrostatic Precipitators. 1. Internal Separators: Internal separator type dust collectors are manufactured in various shapes and sizes. Following types are most common: (a) Louver collector, (b) Fabric filters, (c) Gravity settling chamber, [...]

Design and Performance of Precipitators | Environmental Engineering

The design and performance of precipitators are affected by a plurality of factors. These are divided into three main categories, namely – efficiency, local, high turbulence eddies scour: (i) Properties of the gas stream, (ii) Properties of the dust, and  (iii) Process conditions. (i) Properties of the Gas Stream: The precipitator is designed for a particular throughput rate. Increase in [...]
