{ "item_title" : "Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs)", "item_author" : [" Charles Nehme "], "item_description" : "Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are an important technology in industrial air pollution control, helping facilities reduce particulate emissions from exhaust gases generated by combustion, manufacturing, chemical processing, and other industrial activities. By using high-voltage electrical fields to charge airborne particles and collect them on specially designed surfaces, ESPs can remove significant quantities of fine dust, smoke, fly ash, and other suspended contaminants from large volumes of gas.As environmental requirements become more demanding and industrial operators seek to improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, understanding the design and operation of electrostatic precipitators has become increasingly important. Properly selected and maintained ESPs can support effective emissions control, reduce the release of particulate matter, and contribute to the reliable operation of industrial exhaust treatment systems.This book provides a practical engineering introduction to electrostatic precipitators, covering their fundamental operating principles, equipment configurations, design considerations, operating controls, performance optimization, maintenance requirements, and industrial applications. It also explores the relationship between ESPs and other pollution control technologies, particularly wet scrubbers, spray towers, packed bed scrubbers, and Venturi scrubbers.Although ESPs and scrubbers operate according to different physical principles, they can complement one another in carefully designed industrial treatment systems. Understanding how these technologies interact is essential when selecting equipment, planning new installations, upgrading existing facilities, and troubleshooting emissions control problems.The chapters emphasize practical engineering knowledge rather than theoretical discussion alone. Readers will find explanations of major equipment components, common operational problems, inspection priorities, maintenance practices, safety considerations, and system integration requirements. Particular attention is given to identifying the factors that influence collection performance, recognizing early warning signs of equipment deterioration, and establishing effective operating and maintenance procedures.The book is intended to serve as a working reference for engineers, consultants, plant operators, maintenance professionals, and technical managers involved in industrial air pollution control. It can also support engineering reviews, project planning, commissioning activities, equipment refurbishment, and discussions between equipment suppliers and facility owners.Electrostatic precipitators should not be treated as isolated pieces of equipment. Their performance depends on the characteristics of the exhaust gas, the nature of the particles being collected, the electrical and mechanical condition of the installation, and the effectiveness of the wider pollution control system. A practical understanding of these relationships helps engineering teams make better decisions throughout the equipment lifecycle.My objective is to provide readers with a clear, structured, and useful reference that connects engineering principles with real industrial applications. Whether the reader is evaluating a new ESP, improving an existing installation, investigating excessive emissions, or integrating particulate removal with a wet scrubbing system, this book aims to support informed technical decisions and more reliable operation.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/243/9798162434788_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "49.99", "online_price" : "49.99", "our_price" : "49.99", "club_price" : "49.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
