In the metallurgical industry the use of WESPs to remove aerosol dust has been a common procedure for many years. With more stringent emission control regulations and the necessity to protect equipment and catalysts from lasting damage, due to dust and/or acid aerosols, the wet electrostatic precipitator is used in a large variety of industrial applications:
Our application fields are:
- in the coal, oil, petcoke, chemical waste industry in order to comply with emission regulation limits, as post combustion technology
- in sulfuric acid plants, metallurgical sulfuric acid plants or regeneration of spent sulfuric acid, as process step
The main KVT WESP features:
- Due to the electrical conductivity of the collector tubes a continuous liquid film as is found in conventional WESPs is not required
- The control system provides self regulation of the discharges ensuring much higher availability, lifetime and low maintenance costs.
- Separated fluids can be recycled into the process
- It is not necessary to use cooling water
- The casing is made of corrosion resistant synthetic material
