Advanced Technology Features in a Ducon Wet Electrostatic Precipitator

Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESPs) are critical components in modern air pollution control strategies, particularly in industries where fine particulate matter and mist need to be effectively
captured.

WESPs are highly versatile and effective for controlling a wide range of pollutants and particle sizes. They are particularly well-suited for:
Types of Pollutants:

1. Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10):  WESPs excel at capturing fine particulate matter, including PM2.5 (particles with
a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller) and PM10 (particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers or smaller). These fine particles are often difficult to capture using other methods.

2. Submicron Particles: WESPs are especially effective at removing submicron particles (particles smaller than one micrometer) due to their high charging efficiency and wet collection mechanisms.

3. Mist and Aerosols:  WESPs are highly efficient at capturing mist and aerosols, including sulfuric acid mist, oil mist, and other liquid aerosols that can be present in industrial exhaust gases.

4. Heavy Metals:  Particles containing heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium can be effectively captured by WESPs, reducing the emission of toxic substances.

5. Acid Gases and Vapors: WESPs can be effective in capturing acid gases and vapors when combined with scrubbing liquids. This capability enhances their performance in reducing sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other acid gases.

6. Organic Compounds:  Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) can be captured by WESPs, particularly when they condense into particulate form or are absorbed into the scrubbing liquid.
