Abstract:
1. A method of controlling dust particle emission from an electrostatic precipitator, the method comprising: utilizing in said electrostatic precipitator at least a first bus-section and at least a second bus-section each of which comprising at least one collecting electrode plate, at least one discharge electrode, and a power source; observing that a rapping event of the first bus-section is about to be initiated, said rapping event comprising rapping at least one collecting electrode plate of the first bus-section for the purpose of removing dust particles accumulated thereon; verifying, before allowing the rapping event of said first bus-section to be initiated, that the second bus-section located downstream of said first bus-section is ready to receive the dust particles to be released during the rapping event of said first bus-section; and initiating, after it has been verified that said second bus-section is ready to receive the dust particles to be released during the rapping event of said first bus-section, said rapping event of said first bus-section.
