Electrostatic precipitator

AE&E can rely on the experience accumulated in one of the largest precipitator data bases throughout the world, due to the fact that over 13,000 electrostatic precipitators (ESP) have been built today.

The dust particles or droplets, which are floating in the gas, are negatively charged by discharge electrodes that are connected to a high voltage transformer rectifier unit. The particles migrate towards the collecting electrodes under the influence of a strong electrical field where they adhere. By means of the respective cleaning systems the electrodes are purged periodically. The deposits are collected in the hoppers located under the precipitator.

The clean gas dust contents, which can be achieved, are below 10 mg/m³.

Key Features

• Adaptation of gas velocity and discharge electrodes to changing collection conditions along electrostatic precipitator height and length
• Among other designs, the TOPRAPPING design is used comprising patented collecting electrodes with almost ideal charging and cleaning properties, also comprising unbreakable rigid discharge electrodes
• Modular construction for a quick and easy construction
• Minimisation of the amount of wear and tear parts
• Energy saving of up to 90% due to the installation of precipitator voltage controllers comprising a state-of-the-art microcomputer technology. These controllers reveal a self-optimising variable pulse operation mode
