PRECIPITATOR COMPONENTS
All electrostatic precipitators, regardless of their particular designs, contain the following essential
components:
• Discharge electrodes
• Collection electrodes
• High voltage electrical systems
• Rappers
• Hoppers
Discharge electrodes are either small-diameter metal wires that hang vertically (in the electrostatic precipitator), a
number of wires attached together in rigid frames, or a rigid electrode made from a single piece of fabricated metal.
Discharge electrodes create a strong electrical
Field that ionizes flue gas and this ionization charges particles in the gas.
Collecting electrodes collect charged particles. Collection electrodes are either flat plates or tubes with a
charge opposite that of the discharge electrodes.
High voltage equipment provides the electric field between the discharge and collection electrodes used to
charge particles in the ESP.
Rappers impart a vibration, or shock, to the electrodes, removing the collected dust. Rappers remove dust that has
accumulated on both collection electrodes and discharge electrodes. Occasionally, water sprays are used to remove
dust from collection electrodes.
Hoppers are located at the bottom of the precipitator. Hoppers are used to collect and temporarily store the dust
removed during the rapping process.
The shell provides the base to support the ESP components and to enclose the unit.
It is MIGI ESP (magnetic impulse gravity impulse) no motor drives are required to operate rappers, External operating
platform shall be on one side of ESP( side of access door only) - R04

Interconnecting platform of 6 m (front) from Boiler to ESP (Drawing No-PD 142 VM 02 L01) - R01
Insulators are inside penthouse hence there is no need to any extra platform. One can comfortably do maintenance inside
penthouse.
Cladding type- Plain aluminium 22SWG, Insulation- Thk 50mm & density- 100Kg/m3
We are providing PLC based MTP panel for controlling rapping of electrodes.
COLLECTION SURFACE:
Collection surface is the surface provided per electrode for the given gas volume
Collection surface are made up of sheet metal generally having thickness ranging from 1.2 to 1.5 mm & serves to
allow the dust particle precipitation on to the plate for the particulate that is negatively ionized.
Collection surface plate is fixed / welded to casing of ESP and it is grounded.
There has been steady increase in the ESP size from the last decade to bring down the required outlet emission
and collection surface has utilized this trends.
Collection surface also involves other parameter like plate spacing, migration velocity and treatment time which are
defined by the required collection efficiency. Based on the required Collection efficiency against the projected gas
flow the relation of collection area is formulated.
It means the specific Collection surface area plays a vital role in sizing the ESP by taking care of the Process
parameter with respect to process Dust particle size and resistivity of the particle. The norms have been
standardized with respect to ESP Efficiency and the minimum collection surface area to be maintained.
Collection surface area are to be selected by keeping the required surface for amount of dust to be loaded for the
required velocity during rapping and periodically to maintain the electrical force between the electrode.
GAS VELOCITY:
Gas velocity is the velocity of the gas passing across the cross sectional area of a given precipitator and is calculated
3 2
by dividing the volumetric flow rate (m /Hr) of gas through the ESP by effective cross sectional area (m ) of the
precipitator
The main factor controlling the gas velocity is the Resistivity of the dust. If the resistivity of Dust is high there is a
chance of particle re-entrainment.
GD screen plays important role in maintaining the designed velocity throughout the cross sectional area of ESP.
Gas velocity parameter has become more generic in the collection efficiency. Modern ESP’s design typically has
gas velocity in the range of .6 to 1.2 m/sec with 300 to 400 mm spacing and is within good velocity range.

The aspect ratio, which relates the length of an ESP to its height, is an important factor in reducing rapping
loss (dust re-entrainment).When particles are rapped from the electrodes, the gas flow carries the collected
dust forward through the ESP until the dust reaches the hopper. Although the amount of time it takes for
rapped particles to settle in the hoppers is short (a matter of seconds), a large amount of "collected dust" can
be re-entrained in the gas flow and carried out of the ESP if the total effective length of the plates in the ESP is
small compared to their effective height. For example, the time required for dust to fall from the top of a 9.1-m
plate (30-ft plate) is several seconds. Effective plate lengths must be at least
10.7 to 12.2 m (35 to 40 ft) to prevent a large amount of "collected dust" from being carried
out of the ESP before reaching the hopper.
TREATMENT TIME:
Treatment time is the time taken by a gas particle to travel the total collecting plate length in an ESP. The
treatment time for a given precipitator is calculated by obtaining the dividing Field Length by gas velocity.
This is defined as the time taken by the flue gas passing through the length of the collecting electrode zone.
In different application the treatment time is different depending upon their gas quality for boiler ESP, recovery
boiler, and biomass cement.
The more the treatment time is better collection efficiency are achieved and outlet emission are reduced.
The treatment time varies with respect to collection efficiency.
MIGRATION VELOCITY:
It is been said that, as the particle along with gas flow moves through precipitator, each charged particle has
a component of velocity moves toward the collecting plate. These components of velocity are called
migration velocity.
It has a great impact with process parameter depending upon the particle size, resistivity and gas flow
distribution inside the precipitator.
Migration velocity gets affected with re-entrainment of gas particle while rapping because of gas flow
distribution and gas leakage through the precipitator result in air volume disturbing the flow pattern of gas
flow uniformity.
Proper plate spacing is to be maintained electrical voltage stability for developing electric corona in
substantial form and to maintain the charge of particle and same is to be directed towards the collecting
plate.
Increased migration velocity achieves higher particle collection efficiency with less collection area.
RAPPERS:-
Rappers are used for dislodgement of accumulated dust from the collecting electrode. Rappers play vital role in
maintaining the electrical voltage stability.
The deposited dust is dislodged by mechanical impulse or vibration of the electrodes, a process generally known
as rapping.
In magnetic impulse rapping, a pulse is generated from the controller to rapper coil and plunger is raised in a coil
and then drop back by gravity.
It is necessary to rap the discharge electrode to prevent dust buildup of excessive ash deposits which interfere
with the corona and thereby reduces the collecting efficiency.
These are the devices, generally located at the top of the ESP or bottom of the collecting plates, which periodically
impart shock to the collecting surfaces to dislodge the collected material into the hopper system.
Gas flow distribution pattern throughout the cross section of the ESP should be uniform.
Gas distribution test (GD Test) is done in clean ESP just before commissioning usually at 100% flow at ambient
temp to ensure the uniformity of the flow in every passage.
Reading of GD test are taken at the outlet of the field along the gas flow direction at 1 mts interval in every passage
of collecting electrode height from bottom to Top.
It has also to be checked the flow inside the Hopper zone below the field and above the baffle. In the hopper zone the
velocity should be zero. It is to ensure any leakages from the hopper zone.
