AirTek’s specialists work hard to be at the forefront of tech advancements in the electrostatic precipitator realm. Our goal is to keep your system working longer, better, and at a reduced cost. What is an Electrostatic Precipitator? An electrostatic precipitator is a highly efficient particulate collection device that removes particulate matter from a gas stream using electrostatics. Also known as an electrostatic air cleaner, this device uses electrical charges to remove either solid or liquid droplets (or impurities) that come from gases in smokestacks. These particles are removed with electrical energy that charges the particles positively or negatively, making them easier to catch. The technology was developed in the early part of the twentieth century and has evolved to play a major role across a wide range of particulate collecting and control applications. These devices have highly technical parts, including gas distribution plates, discharge electrodes, plates or pipes that collect particles on the surface, and rappers. Electrostatic precipitators can be part of a process that recovers a product from the gas stream so it can be reused. Most precipitators, however, are air pollution control devices that eliminate the emission of these fine dust particles into the environment. Advantages of Electrostatic Precipitators Having air pollution control equipment for your business, factory, or plant might be essential for meeting laws and regulations of operation. There are a lot of benefits to having an electrostatic precipitator as that system. Here are just a few of the biggest advantages of an ESP system: ESPs can handle large gas volumes and heavy dust loads at low pressures. It has low energy operating cost. It can be used for the collection of both dry and wet impurities. ESPs are durable and will last a long time if maintained properly. Additionally, AirTek’s ESPs are specifically designed to accomplish: High Collection Efficiencies Low Emissions Minimal Pressure Loss Minimal Operational Downtime Low Initial Capital Industries for ESPs At AirTek we engineer, design, fabricate, and erect ESPs for many industries.
