Problem
• An ESP is designed to treat 50,000 m3/min
with 97 % efficiency. Assuming an effective
drift velocity of 2.5 m/min, calculate the
required plate area and the number of plates.
The plate size is 10 m by 5 m (height by
length).
Solution
• Step 1:
Efficiency of an Electrostatic Precipitator is given by
Lo N s L p ( N s 1) Ls Len Lex
Lo : overall length, m
Ns : number of electrical sections in the direction of flow
Lp: plate length, m
Ls: spacing between electrical section, m
Len: entrance section length, m
Lex: exit section length, m
