Abstract

One of the critical factors involved in the use of refuse as a source of heat energy is the requirement to remove particulate matter from the hot flue gases. The paper describes how this can be accomplished using electrostatic precipitators. Special design features of precipitators for this application are outlined including pre-collector devices to cope with low bulk density paper char which can otherwise pass through the precipitator. Performance data from various parts of the world are discussed, illustrating how the electrostatic precipitator can be designed to cope with the local emissions legislation.
