Paperback. A Practical Guide to Electrostatic Precipitator PerformanceDesigned for engineers, plant operators, maintenance teams, consultants, and technical students, this book presents a clear, systems-level explanation of how electrostatic precipitators charge, transport, collect, and remove particulate matter from process gases. It connects electrical behavior with gas flow, dust properties, mechanical condition, operating practice, and measured emissions.Starting with the fundamentals, the book follows the complete path of dust through an ESP, from inlet gas distribution and corona charging to particle migration, plate collection, rapping, hopper evacuation, and stack discharge. Equations and engineering concepts are explained in practical terms, with attention to the assumptions behind performance calculations and the operating conditions that can cause real systems to depart from theory.What the Book CoversProcess characterization: gas temperature, pressure, composition, moisture, dust loading, particle size, morphology, and electrical resistivity.Corona and power systems: corona onset, ion generation, positive and negative systems, voltage-current behavior, transformer-rectifier sets, spark control, and field sectionalization.Collection performance: migration velocity, Deutsch-Anderson analysis, effective collection area, residence time, reentrainment, back corona, and penetration losses.Mechanical and gas-flow design: discharge electrodes, collection plates, support systems, turning vanes, inlet transitions, clearances, insulators, and velocity-profile measurement.Dust removal: rapping intensity and timing, dust-layer detachment, hopper heating, evacuation, and methods for reducing reentrainment.Resistivity control: high- and low-resistivity dust behavior, back-corona formation, charge dissipation, and flue-gas conditioning with moisture or chemical additives.Operation and verification: automatic controls, spark recovery, instrumentation, operating windows, particulate sampling, opacity, continuous monitoring, and field-by-field evaluation.From Theory to Plant DecisionsEach chapter includes a focused example that turns technical principles into practical work, such as building a design basis from plant data, interpreting a field voltage-current curve, correcting inlet maldistribution, selecting corrective action for resistivity problems, and reconciling stack test results with ESP power data. Troubleshooting guidance helps readers distinguish between weak electrical fields, poor charging, broken wires, plate damage, hopper problems, gas-flow imbalance, and operating changes.The final chapters address high-voltage isolation, stored-energy risks, confined-space entry, inspection, cleaning, preventive maintenance, and integrated case studies involving changing dust loads and collection-efficiency improvement. With its combination of engineering analysis, operating guidance, diagnostic methods, and safety practices, this book serves as a dependable reference for improving ESP reliability, emissions control, and day-to-day performance.Ideal for: air-pollution control professionals, power and process-plant personnel, environmental engineers, maintenance supervisors, commissioning teams, and anyone responsible for electrostatic precipitator results. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

A Practical Guide to Electrostatic Precipitator Performance
Designed for engineers, plant operators, maintenance teams, consultants, and technical students, this book presents a clear, systems-level explanation of how electrostatic precipitators charge, transport, collect, and remove particulate matter from process gases. It connects electrical behavior with gas flow, dust properties, mechanical condition, operating practice, and measured emissions.
Starting with the fundamentals, the book follows the complete path of dust through an ESP, from inlet gas distribution and corona charging to particle migration, plate collection, rapping, hopper evacuation, and stack discharge. Equations and engineering concepts are explained in practical terms, with attention to the assumptions behind performance calculations and the operating conditions that can cause real systems to depart from theory.
What the Book Covers
- Process characterization: gas temperature, pressure, composition, moisture, dust loading, particle size, morphology, and electrical resistivity.
- Corona and power systems: corona onset, ion generation, positive and negative systems, voltage-current behavior, transformer-rectifier sets, spark control, and field sectionalization.
- Collection performance: migration velocity, Deutsch-Anderson analysis, effective collection area, residence time, reentrainment, back corona, and penetration losses.
- Mechanical and gas-flow design: discharge electrodes, collection plates, support systems, turning vanes, inlet transitions, clearances, insulators, and velocity-profile measurement.
- Dust removal: rapping intensity and timing, dust-layer detachment, hopper heating, evacuation, and methods for reducing reentrainment.
- Resistivity control: high- and low-resistivity dust behavior, back-corona formation, charge dissipation, and flue-gas conditioning with moisture or chemical additives.
- Operation and verification: automatic controls, spark recovery, instrumentation, operating windows, particulate sampling, opacity, continuous monitoring, and field-by-field evaluation.
From Theory to Plant Decisions
Each chapter includes a focused example that turns technical principles into practical work, such as building a design basis from plant data, interpreting a field voltage-current curve, correcting inlet maldistribution, selecting corrective action for resistivity problems, and reconciling stack test results with ESP power data. Troubleshooting guidance helps readers distinguish between weak electrical fields, poor charging, broken wires, plate damage, hopper problems, gas-flow imbalance, and operating changes.
The final chapters address high-voltage isolation, stored-energy risks, confined-space entry, inspection, cleaning, preventive maintenance, and integrated case studies involving changing dust loads and collection-efficiency improvement. With its combination of engineering analysis, operating guidance, diagnostic methods, and safety practices, this book serves as a dependable reference for improving ESP reliability, emissions control, and day-to-day performance.
