Wet Electrostatic Precipitators

KC Cottrell wet-type electrostatic precipitators operate on saturated gas streams, i.e. at gas temperatures equal to or below the water dew point of the gas stream. In the ‘Wet’ units, the rapping gear associated with ‘Dry’ units is replaced by an intermittent wash-down system using water to remove the deposits from the collector sheets. KC Cottrell has supplied over 750 ‘Wet’ units for a variety of applications worldwide.
These include both vertical and horizontal gas flow precipitators.
