The One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model framework for the simulation of particle-laden wire-tube electrostatic precipitators is detailed in this work by specifying initial conditions, governing equations, and mechanism two-way coupling between fields hydrodynamic flow. Unlike a previous investigation [1], required due to low electrical mobility aerosol particles, making flow motion responsib...

Particulate matter emission is one of the major air pollution problems of coal fired power plants. Though fine particles constitute a smaller fraction by weight of the total suspended particle matter in typical particle emissions, they are considered potentially hazardous to health because of their high probability of deposition in deeper parts of the respiratory tract. Electrostatic precipitat...

The separation of particles from gases within electrostatic precipitators is mainly depending on the flow conditions. The flow field is governed by the mutual interaction of the electric field with the gas ions and the turbulent channel flow. Especially for wire-plate electrostatic precipitators this causes secondary flows, well known as the 'ionic wind'. The influence of the ionic wind on the ...

A description is given of settling chambers with sprays, cyclone types and electrostatic precipitators as used in municipal incinerators. Special emphasis is placed on selection and duct design especially to inlets of collectors which affects efficiency. Importance is stressed on preventing leaks and overfilling of hoppers and proper maintenance of equipment in order to obtain optimum efficienc...

y Available control technologies and strategies include direct PM2.5 reduction technologies such as fabric filters (baghouses), electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), and diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Once installed, these strategies range in cost-effectiveness from as little as $48/ton PM2.5 to $685/ton PM2.5 (2010$) or more, depending on the source category. However, they also may involve t...
