What is an ESP?
ESP is the abbreviation used for Electrostatic Precipitator units which are often found in use in industrial settings. ESP units are essential within industrial facilities to control air pollution. Their main function is to filter harmful substances from emissions produced by industrial factories and power-generating facilities. They do this by…
- Using an electrostatic charge to remove small particles from flowing gas.
- These particles are then ionised by travelling over electrodes.
- The particles then receive an electrostatic charge which makes them divert towards collection plates for removal.
ESP servicing and maintenance is not an easy task, which is why it’s vital that professionals are called to complete this essential work.
What are the common electrostatic precipitator issues?
There are two main issues that electrostatic precipitators suffer from…
- Material Build Up
The collection plates within the units can develop a build-up of dirt, debris and other particles. If left to stagnate, this can produce nitrogen oxides and ozone- common air pollutants which can contribute to a number of global issues.
- Hopper Pluggage
Global pluggage can cause catastrophic damage to electrostatic precipitators. Hopper pluggage is caused by friction on the hopper inner walls, causing particles to bind together and form blockages.
Why is ESP cleaning important?
ESPs are crucial in terms of emission control and if you have one operating for your industrial facility, it’s essential that it is running properly. Routine cleaning of ESP units is vital for many reasons including:
- Ensuring that you are running at maximum efficiency.
- Making sure that dangerous oxides, ozone (O3) and other air pollutants aren’t released into the air and environment.
- Guarantees the longevity and proper function of your ESP system.
If not cleaned regularly, your ESP could release waste particles into the atmosphere that could cause harm to the planet, contribute to climate change and cause diseases such as lung damage and bronchitis.
Receive Reports & Certificates…
Insurance companies will typically recommend a minimum frequency at which the systems should be cleaned and maintained. Adherence to regulations and recognised guidance is essential for building insurance as well as meeting the minimum Duty of Care that you have to your clients, employees and the public. We are fully accredited by NAAD and are licensed to provide you with reports and certificates for your systems.
