This chapter presents the design and operation of an electrostatic precipitator. It discusses the production of ions, discharge electrode and its spacing, collector electrodes, precipitator sectionalism, high tension insulators, electrical clearances, deposit removal from the collector and discharge systems, hopper dust removal, and the reentrainment from hoppers.
