Electrostatic Precipitators: Design, Operation, and Performance explores one of the most cost-effective technologies for controlling particulate emissions from industrial processes, including power stations, steelworks, and other energy-intensive operations. The book reviews the fundamental theory and operation of electrostatic precipitators, the influence of gas and particulate characteristics on design and performance, and the design of high- and mains-frequency rectification equipment. It also addresses performance monitoring, enhancement techniques, and fault detection.
Recent advances in high-power, fast-switching equipment have enabled the development of high-frequency energisation systems, further improving precipitator efficiency and reducing emissions. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, these innovations are essential for maintaining compliance and optimizing operations.
This book is a valuable resource for electrical and process engineers, environmental specialists, and professionals seeking to understand, assess, and improve the design and performance of electrostatic precipitators.
