This report is intended to serve as a basic handbook on the subject of elec- trostatic precipitation covering the entire system including fundamental theory, design, operation, and application. Its purpose is to provide a source of information that will be of benefit to the researcher, manufacturer, and user of electrostatic precipitators. The systems study included a review of literature pertaining to electrostatic precipita~ tion, a comprehensive review of precipitator fundamentals, a survey and review of the use| of precipitators in each of eight major application areas, and a review of the potential for electrostatic precipitators in new applications. In order to provide information use-| ful to a wide range of users, this manual is organized to present a general review of the| precipitation process, with qualitative relationships between the various precipitator functions, and a detailed quantitative analysis of each of the system functions. Particul emphasis is placed on the validity of the theoretical derivations in view of th ‘verh - Key Words and Document Analyals. (a).
