Strategies for Improvement

Improving Your Precipitator Operation

Improvement or optimization of precipitator operation can result in significant savings. Many specific situations encourage a review of precipitator operation:

Deterioration of existing equipment
Tightening of air pollution emission regulations
Changes in products and/or production rates
Frequent forced outages
De-rating of production

The key areas for performance improvement are reducing re-entrainment, improving gas flow distribution, and optimizing corona power.
