Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)

VIRIDIS Engineering provides one-stop end-to-end solutions for air pollution, dust and emissions control in the form of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) from the conceptual design and feasibility stages to manufacturing, delivery, on-site installation and commissioning for different types of ESPs for various applications including power generation, palm oil, waste-to-energy, oil and gas,  and various other industries in Malaysia and all neighboring countries.

What are Electrostatic Precipitators?

An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that uses an electric charge to remove certain impurities, either solid particles or liquid droplets, from air or other gases in smokestacks and other flues before being discharged into the atmosphere.

 

Operational Differences between Wet and Dry type ESPs

An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that uses an electric charge to remove certain impurities, either solid particles or liquid droplets, from air or other gases in smokestacks and other flues before being discharged into the atmosphere. An Electrostatic Precipitator functions by electrostatically charging particles in the gas stream. The electrical charge ionizes the suspended particles, causing them to move toward the collecting electrodes. Opposite high voltages are charged on two plate grids. The positive grid charges the particles, and the negative grid attracts them. When enough particles have accumulated on the collection devices, they are shaken off the collectors by mechanical rappers.

 

Electrostatic Precipitator Cross Section

These Electrostatic Precipitators are suitable for industries that are looking to improve their emissions such as Palm Oil, Power, Steel, Food & Beverages, Paper, Cement, Textile, Chemical. Fertilizer, and the Oil & Gas industry to name a few.

The VIRIDIS-provided Electrostatic Precipitators are able to handle a wide range of fuels that are fired in the boiler such as different types of coals and biomass fuel sources.

VIRIDIS is able to conduct a detailed study on the clients existing system such as cyclones, scrubbers etc. to incorporate this into the custom-made ESP design to minimize the cost impact for clients. 

With a retrofitted ESP into an existing plant (for example; a Palm Oil Mill), VIRIDIS is able to provide an emission reduction performance guarantee including compliance with the local authorities.
