A reduced-turbulence, reduced-entrainment electrostatic precipitator
This thesis describes testing of an electrostatic precipitator that has a portion of the main precipitator flow drawn through a porous (fabric) collecting surface. Tests investigated effects of flow through the collecting surface (side flow) on precipitator turbulence and particulate removal …

Current distribution and particle motion in a barbed plate electrostatic precipitator
… more favorable electrical and flow conditions in electrostatic precipitators. A novel barbed plate precipitator is designed to provide a more uniform current density distribution and electric field in the inter-electrode gap. Ground plate current densities of both a conventional wire-plate …

Design, modeling and construction of a novel ablative fast pyrolysis reactor and product collection system
… quench column combined with a wet walled electrostatic precipitator, which is directly mounted on top, for liquids collection. In order to aid design and scale-up calculations, detailed mathematical modelling was undertaken of the reaction system enabling sizes, efficiencies and operating …

Investigation of the Relationship Between Particulate Bound Mercury and Properties of Fly Ash in a Full-Scale 100 MWE Pulverized Coal Combustion Boiler
… from the mechanical hopper (MHP) and the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) of a 100 MWe pulverized coal-fired boiler and analyzed for particulate mercury concentration (Hgp), unburned carbon, loss on ignition (LOI), elemental content and specific surface area (SSA). Different types of …

Characteristics of particles downstream of a partially failed diesel particulate filter.
… and total number concentrations. An electrostatic precipitator, DMA, electrometer and CPC were used to evaluate the aerosol charge distribution. Downstream measurements were repeated as the filter was progressively failed in a series of steps. These measurements were then used to …

A first order assessment of the moving granular panel filter
… be in the order of that imposed by an equivalent electrostatic precipitator making the design, an attractive low pressure drop filter, assuming sufficient improvement in collection efficiency can be achieved with the increased panel thickness. Order of magnitude cost estimates are presented at two …

Evaluation of wood biomass utilization for the greenhouse industry in British Columbia
… or wood residue boiler, with or without an electrostatic precipitator (ESP), to generate portion of heat demand for a greenhouse. Although the decision making would be affected by the price changes and the size of a greenhouse, a positive NPV was determined from a pure economic view point. …

The use of Lethabo field 2 PFA in pavement quality concrete
… was from the Lethabo power station's second electrostatic precipitator field (Lethabo Field 2 PFA). This Field 2 PFA has a very close resemblance to the expected classified commercial Lethabo PFA of the future. PFA is characterised by its fineness. The Field 2 PFA had 7.7 percent retained on …

Influence of Aerosols During Amine-Based CO2 Capture: Evolution and Control
… reduces amine emissions, however conventional Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP), typically installed in power plants are inefficient in capturing particles in the size range 200 – 500 nm, and below 40 nm, due to the minimum in migrational velocity and partial charging. Particle charging is …

Calcium oxide-based sorbents for CO2 capture at high temperature
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been recognized as a promising approach to mitigate the rapidly increasing amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. The key factor for the advancement of this technology lies in improved and cost-effective capture processes/materials. Pre-combustion CO2 capture from …
