The 2 x 65 MW Cogeneration Captive Power Plant is being set up by GACL-NALCO


ALKALIES&CHEMICAL PVT. LTD., located at Dahej Gujarat, India.
The steam generator of this unit is being provided with ESP's to control the particulate emission.
These ESPs are guaranteed for particulate emission of 20mg/Nm3 with all fields in operation at
guarantee point.

MAIN FEATURES OF ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS


Electrostatic precipitation is a physical process by which particles suspended in gas stream are charged electrically,
and under the influence of electric field are separated from the gas stream. The precipitation system consists of a
positively charged collecting surface and a high voltage discharge electrode wire suspended from an insulator at the
top and held in position by a weight at the bottom. At a very high DC voltage of the order of 50 kV, a corona
discharge occurs close to the negative electrode, setting up an electric field between the emitter and the charged
surface. The particle-laden gas enters near the bottom and flows upward. The gas close to the negative electrode
is, thus, ionized upon passing through the corona. As the negative ions and electrons
migrate towards the charged surface, they in turn charge the passing particles. The electrostatic field then draws
the particles to the collector surface where they are deposited. Periodically, the collected particles are removed from
the collecting surface by rapping or vibrating the collector to dislodge the particles. The dislodged particles drop
below the electrical treatment zone and are collected for ultimate disposal. Usually, a larger number of these
collectors are placed in parallel
in a single housing, forming a multiple cylindrical unit. For industrial applications, vertical plates exposed to
horizontal gas flow (parallel -plate precipitators) are normally used. In this type of collector, the flue gas flows through
vertical parallel plates between which are suspended a number of vertical wires held in place by weights attached at
the bottom. These wires form the
Discharge electrode, while the vertical plates form the collection electrode. Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of
a typical parallel plate arrangement. Although the multiple unit is not as widely used as the parallel plate
precipitator described below, it finds frequent use in collecting liquid particles.
.
A unique feature of electrostatic precipitators is the separating force that is applied directly to the
particles without the necessity of accelerating the gas as is done for all other particulate collection devices. This
unique feature leads to an extremely low pressure loss for the collection of fine particles compared with that in
any other type of collector.
The main features/advantages of ESPs are:
• can collect all types of dust, gas mist, droplets, etc.;
• can collect dust in both wet and dry conditions;
• can collect all sizes of particles, from microns to coursers;
• probably the most versatile collecting equipment;
• offers the highest efficiency, can be designed in principle for any efficiency without excessive
pressure drop;
• operates with low operation cost (though initial cost is more);
• can operate over a wide range of inlet conditions, i.e., temperature, pressure, dust burden, humidity, etc.;
• offers negligible pressure drop (rarely crosses 20–15 mm);
• can be built in multiple units, for almost any gas volume;
• It has a long life, comparatively free from abrasion effect due to low operating velocity;
• Current drain is virtually negligible, usually between 0.05–1.5 amp occasionally, the pressure drop available
from the flue itself is sufficient to dispense with added air moving equipment. This combination of reduced
pressure drop requirement and low current
Drain yields a system extremely economical both in size of blower/fan equipment and in power

consumption men. Maintenance is low, as there is no moving part; and


• The high recovery value of the dust collected offset s the cost of the equipment. In steel making, for
example, dust can be collected and added to the sinter mixer pelletized in a flying saucer and returned
directly to the steel making vessel without treatment.
The most economical design and operation of dry electrostatic precipitators is obtained when the resistivity of
particles fall within certain desired limits. If the resistivity is low, particles give up their charge too easily and become
re -entrained in the gas flowing past the collecting electrode. On the other hand, high resistivity particles cannot
lose their charge upon reaching the collector
Electrode because of the low conductivity of the material deposited earlier. As a result, the effective field strength is
reduced and the efficiency falls. Particle resistivity can be controlled in many cases by selecting the proper
operating temperature or by injecting water to reduce the resistivity. Such irrigated precipitators are used for the
collection of fumes from electric arc furnaces.

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.

Cladding type- Plain aluminium 22SWG, Insulation- Thk 50mm & density- 100Kg/m3

We are providing PLC based MTP panel for controlling rapping of electrodes.

Air leakage though ESP is <1%

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.

Gas velocity is 0.78 m/s for both ESP - R01

SPECIFIC COLLECTION AREA


The specific collection area (SCA) is defined as the ratio of collection surface area to the gas flow rate into the
collector. This ratio represents the A/Q relationship in the Deutsch- Anderson equation and consequently is an
important determinant of collection efficiency.

The SCA is given in below

ASPECT RATIO:

ENERGY SERVICES (INDIA) PVT.
LTD.,

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.

Aspect Ratio for Both ESP is 2.05- R01

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.

Migration velocity is 4.25 CM/SEC for our ESP-R02

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.

We are providing magnetic impulse gravity impulse rappers.

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:


In order to maximize the collection efficiency gas flow distribution plays a vital role.

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.
