CFD modelling of electrohydrodynamic gas flow in an electrostatic precipitator

Modelling of the flow velocity fields for electrohydrodynamic flow in a wire-to-plate type electrostatic precipitator was achieved. From calculations for the flow employing different flow models, the Chen-Kim k − ε turbulent model appeared to be the most appropriate choice to obtain a quantitative image of the resulting mean flow field and downstream wake flow of the rear wire, although this was ...

Wet electrostatic precipitators: A preferred technology for emission control

The basic science behind electrostatic precipitators is as familiar and as simple as static cling. But today, this elemental force has been harnessed to a technology that is helping to remove millions of tons of toxic chemicals from our atmosphere; saving billions of dollars annually in pollution-related physical damage; and averting costly impacts on health and mortality rates for millions of ...

The design of electrostatic precipitators by use of physical models

This paper describes how physical models can be successfully employed in the design of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP). The development of the computational power of personal computers has made possible the development of mathematical models of complex systems, like ESP, that can be used at relatively low cost. These mathematical models simulate the non linear coupling of the different physical ...

Suppression of particle deposition onto downstream wall in an AC Electrostatic Precipitator with neutralisation

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) are used to decontaminate polluted environment around the tunnels. A conventional ESP has high collection efficiency but still has a problem in that its downstream walls are polluted due to particle deposition. The experiments carried out in this study have focused on how the particle deposition can be prevented by neutralising the gases. The collection ...

Innovative wet electrostatic precipitators assure competitive edge in acid marketplace

The unsteady global economic recovery continues to subject many core industries to persistent volatility in profits, prices, markets and capital investments. However, some analysts remain optimistic about the global international trade in sulfur in all forms, particularly sulfuric acid. This versatile mineral acid is both the world’s most widely used chemical, and the one with the highest ...

Precipitator Solves Dryer Problem

Plum Creek Manufacturing, Columbia Falls, Montana, installed a PPC Industries electrostatic precipitator to solve a direct fired dryer dust plugging problem. The electrostatic precipitator was installed in a very congested area and the project had to be done so the dryer was off-line a minimal amount of time. Plum Creek personnel relocated existing equipment, poured concrete footings, ran all of ...

CCS vs. Electrostatic Precipitators for Abrasives, Ceramics, Non-Soluble PM2.5, Submicron Particulate

Manufacturing Processes. Applications where conventional equipment is very inefficient or very expensive to operate and maintain provides an opportunity for the Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) to showcase its unique capabilities. Abrasives manufacturing is a typical example. CCS Cloud Chamber technology was chosen by Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics Corp. (formerly Carborundum Corp.) for the ...

Arsenate removal using a combination treatment of precipitation and nanofiltration

A combination treatment of Ca-precipitation and nanofiltration membrane was studied to remove arsenate from water. The selected nanofiltration membrane was an amphoteric charged membrane, proved by the results of ATR-FTIR spectra and zeta potential. The arsenate and calcium removal efficiencies had the lowest values at the isoelectric point of the nanofiltration membrane, attributed to the ...

Flotation separation of strontium via phosphate precipitation

Flotation separation of strontium (Sr) from wastewater via phosphate precipitation was investigated. While 37.33% of Sr precipitated at highly alkaline pH in the absence of PO43−, it completely precipitated as Sr3(PO4)2 at a molar ratio ([PO43−]:[Sr2+]) of 0.62 at a lower pH value. The presence of Ca2+ hindered ...

High efficient cyclone systems with electrostatic recirculation for particulate matter (PM) emission control

The development of new optimized dedusting systems has particular and increasing relevance for atmospheric particulate emission control. Indeed, traditional "particulatetraps" present several disadvantages that foster the search for alternative solutions. Industrial cyclones are, for their robust construction, absence of moving parts and general application, an appropriate technology for emission ...

Controlling Stack Emissions in the Wood Products Industry & Wood Fired Boilers

Electrostatic precipitation has been a reliable technology since the early 1900's. Originally developed to abate serious smoke nuisances, the manufacturers of zinc, copper, and lead quickly found electric gas cleaning a cost efficient way to recover valuable product carried out of the stacks from furnace operations. Today electrostatic precipitators are found mainly on large power plants, cement ...

Electrofilter protection by fast monitoring of CO in flue gas – Case Study

Electrostatic precipitators Many industrial operations produce exhaust gases that contain dust, fly ash (unburned constituents), fumes (including fine elemental particles such as cadmium, sulfur and lead) and mist (such as coal tar), which cause an unwanted impact to human health and the environment. One widely used method of removing such contaminants from a gas stream is to use an ...
