Abstract. The efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) for reducing wood combustion emissions was investigated. Real-time measurements were conducted by directly reading the change in frequency of the tapered element in a Thermo Scientific 1400a TEOM. The measurements have been shown to be influenced by the charge on the aerosols reaching the tapered element such that the TEOM overestimates mass concentration. This electrostatic effect was cross-checked with particle number concentration measurements where no influence was observed. Placing a radioactive neutraliser prior to the TEOM leads to agreement between observed ESP efficiencies as measured by both the TEOM and a CPC.

A coal-fired flue gas contains high concentrations of fine particles which can pose a threat to the environment. In this study, an electrostatic precipitator is used to remove the fine particles of the flue gas from a 100MW coal fired power plant by using a model. A model has been presented to estimate the performance of the wet electrostatic precipitator (WEP) in terms of the number of plates, flow rates and velocity. The equations have been specified for the charging and charge on the single particle of some definite diameter. The effect of the measuring points for the calculation of the effective migration velocities and hence overall performance along with the re-entrainment and gas sneakage have been incorporated. Ranges for the above-mentioned parameters are well defined and it has been observed that after a certain range values across number of plates, velocities and flow rates there is no significant improvement in the performance of the WEP has been calculated.
