Overview
The electrostatic precipitator remains on of the most cost effective means of controlling the emission of particulates from most industrial processes. This book will be of interest to both users and suppliers of electrostatic precipitators as well as advanced students on environmental based courses. The author identifies the physical and engineering basis for the development of electrical equipment for electrostatic precipitators and thoroughly explores the technological factors which optimize the efficiency of the precipitator and hence minimize emissions, as well as future developments in the electrical field.Synopsis
An engineering consultant specializing in the air pollution control industry and electrostatic precipitators, Parker begins by describing the process physics and the large number of gas and particle characteristics that impact the design and operation of a precipitator. Then he identifies the essential requirements of the electrical energization system such that the installation can operate at maximum performance under optimum electrical conditions. He also reviews the development of precipitator energization from early attempts to use electrostatic voltage generators, to the present silicon rectifier and thyristor systems.
