LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This basic one-day course covers the fundamentals of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) operation for fine particulate or aerosols and the likely defects or operator oversights. Topics include theory and design, cleaning cycles, operation and maintenance and inspection techniques. After completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- List the major industrial applications for ESPs
- Explain the theory of operation of ESPs, using appropriate terminology
- Describe the major types/categories of ESPs
- List the main things to consider in designing an ESP
- List the major components of a typical ESP and explain the functions of these components
- Describe how ESP performance can be monitored by operators
- Explain in detail how to conduct an inspection of an ESP
