Topic: Wet electrostatic precipitators

In 2012 Envitech supplied a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) to remove submicron particulate and lead particles from a metal processing coating device. Envitech recently completed the start-up of a 2nd WESP for a different coating device at the same facility. [...]

Industrial facilities are increasingly called upon to consider the use of wet electrostatic precipitators (WESPs) for emissions control as regulations for PM 2.5 and specific heavy metals become more stringent. Facility and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Managers may need [...]

  As an equipment supplier of custom engineered wet scrubber equipment, Envitech frequently provides lunch and learns (L&L’s) to engineering companies to help educate engineers about the basics of available technology. Figure 1 below is a summary chart of predominant [...]

With an expanding global population, demand for minerals continues to grow.   Development of non-traditional resources is expected to increase to meet this growing demand. This includes copper resources challenged by high levels of arsenic.  Mining operations may incur penalties for [...]

The purpose of a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) is to remove particulates that are smaller than one micron from a gas stream.  One of the common industrial applications is downstream of standard pollution control equipment on power plants or pulp [...]

By Mike SimonDirector of Simulation Products, Digital Dimensions Understanding how simple design changes affect the airflow inside of Envitech's products is critical in designing efficient industrial gas cleaning systems.  Engineers who design this equipment need to analyze and understand the [...]

Acid gases can be found in the exhaust of a large number of combustion processes.  As a gas, the acid compounds usually are not particularly corrosive and are relatively easy to remove.  However, when the temperature of the gas drops below [...]

Envitech is often asked to make recommendations for particulate removal on a wide range of industrial applications.  This might entail deciding if a Venturi scrubber can do the job or if a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) is required.  Envitech uses proprietary modeling that [...]
