Wet Electrostatic Precipitators: A Preferred Technology for Emission Control

摘要

The basic science behind electrostatic precipitators is as familiar and as simple as static cling. But today, this elemental force has been harnessed to a technology that is helping to remove millions of tons of toxic chemicals from our atmosphere; saving billions of dollars annually in pollution-related physical damage; and averting costly impacts on health and mortality rates for millions of people around the world, Furthermore, the benefits derived from this versatile technology are multiplying every year, as new configurations are developed, new applications are found, and new systems are installed in industries ranging from agriculture to zinc smelting. In effect, an age-old scientific principle today finds itself on the leading edge of a technology that is being utilized by industries around the world.
