Wet Electrostatic Precipitator

MikroPul Wet Electrostatic Precipitators are a proven method for cleaning gases in applications where scrubbers or bag filters cannot be used for some reasons.

Wet Tubular Electrostatic Precipitator(WEP-T)

A relatively new design, the WEP-T provides easy removal of super-fine, sticky liquid or solid particles, from process gas streams. It is constructed with a series of vertical tubes through which the raw gas flows upward. Electrodes are suspended in the center of each tube, which electrostatically charge the particles in the gas. The charged particles are attracted to the walls of the tubes, which are continuously flushed with water. The wash water drains into a sediment tank, the contaminant particles are removed, and the water is then recirculated.

The continuous irrigation of the tubes and electrodes eliminates build-up of sticky particles. Because of its unique design, the WEP-T can be manufactured from inexpensive reinforced plastics.

Other Advantages

• Excellent collection of particle size ranges below 1 micron
• Lower energy consumption and operating costs
• High gas throughput in a compact design
• Continuous operation without need for redundant equipment or significant maintenance

MikroPul wet electrostatic precipitators are able to handle a class of particles outside the range of conventional precipitators. They can also be used to absorb gaseous pollutants along with particulate matter by using chemical additives in the spray liquor.
