Condensing WESP

Croll-Reynolds proprietary self-cleaning CONDENSING WESP achieves increased removal efficiency and reduced maintenance and operating costs by harnessing electrostatic forces and temperature differential to affect particle movement. The design of Croll-Reynolds' Condensing Tubular WESP integrates variables of velocity, electrical charge, particle size, and temperature to provide 99.9% removal of particles as small as 0.01 microns. High efficiency is assured when the WESP is integrated with our proprietary scrubber and adsorber designs to provide a complete system.

Corona discharge from ionizing electrodes electrically charges the particles moving past. Charged particles then migrate to the collection surfaces. A liquid (usually water) introduced upstream or created within the device moves into the electrical field with the gas stream and comes to rest on the collecting surfaces with the charged particles. The resulting slurry then slides off the collecting plates for disposal. No further cleaning is necessary. Liquid effluent treatment can be integrated into the design to minimize waste disposal and water usage.
