electrostatic precipitator

A device installed in flues, and the like, to prevent smoke and dust particles from escaping to the atmosphere; the particles are given an electric charge as they pass through a charged screen; then they are attracted to one of two electrically charged plates through which they pass; from time to time they are removed from the plates.

In Estonia, low calorific fuel oil shale (mineral content 55-65%) is primarily used for the production of electricity at two large power plants, the Baltic Power Plant and the Estonian Power Plant, based on pulverized firing (PF) and circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion technologies [1].The dust collecting systems of both boiler types consist of bottom dusters, cyclones (CA) and electrostatic precipitators (EF).
