Electrostatic Precipitators
Effectively improving the environment

Alstoms wide range of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) designs offer the best t for all applications, optimising emission compliance and saving power.

Meeting the most stringent regulation with the lowest cost

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) are widely accepted across the world as an effective system for particulate emissions control. Alstom Electrostatic Precipitators, offer a reliable solution to the demands of increasingly strict regulations for particulate matter emissions worldwide, at the lowest lifecycle cost. ESPs work by creating a high voltage electrical eld (corona) around the discharge electrodes, which causes the gases and the dust particles being carried by the gases, to get ionised. The dust particles, once charged, migrate to and deposit themselves on the neutral collecting plates, from which they are dislodged by periodic rapping and guided to dust hoppers for removal. Alstom offers a wide range of ESP designs, with a choice of discharge electrodes and rapping systems, to provide the most cost effective, technically reliable solution for every application.

3 STEPS TO MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE

1 Optimum charging of the dust is fundamental to effective ESP performance and this is achieved by perfectly matching the choice of the discharge electrode design to the demands of the application.

The Alstom spiral discharge electrodes ensure uniform corona current distribution
and is universally recognized as the most effective solution for medium and high resistivity dust The Alstom multi-peak discharge electrodes are best suited for applications involving low resistivity dusts or dusts having large amounts of ne particles.

Highly-skilled engineers and technicians from Alstoms R&D Execution Centre in Vxj, Sweden support our customers and the further development of our ESP technology solutions.

ALSTOM ESP EXPERIENCE

2 Effective Cleaning System design helps prevent dust building up on the collecting plates, minimizing the back corona effect, which otherwise diminishes the efciency of the ESP, especially if the dust resistivity is high.

Alstom uses a robust Tumbling Hammer design which is most effective in

Alstoms ESP technology and know-how have been established for over 60 years, with more than 4,500 ESP Installations around the world across all applications. In Power generation alone, Alstom has an installed base of 197 GW globally.

dislodging even the most resistant dust from the electrodes, to ensure consistently high efciency of the ESP Alstom also offers, Electric Impact Rapping (EIR) for applications involving low resistivity dust, where relatively mild rapping is sufcient. The design of the EIR is simple and easy to maintain as all the moving parts are accessible from outside the ue gas path.
