An electrostatic precipitator (ESP), is a highly efficient device designed to remove fine particles from flowing gas. As the dust-laden gas passes through the ESP, it gets ionized by high-voltage electrodes, resulting in the particles within the gas becoming charged. The charged particles then migrate towards the collecting plates, which carry an opposite charge, due to the electrostatic attraction. The particles precipitate onto the collecting plates and build up over time, forming a layer of dust. Then the dust is periodically cleaned from the collecting plates, ensuring that the ESP operates efficiently.
