Experiments on the Removal of Fine Particles with Flue Gas Conditioning

Abstract

The removals of fine particles from coal combustion by electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with flue gas conditioning were investigated experimentally based on coalfired thermal system. The experimental results show that the performance of ESP can be improved significantly by adding atomized water, and the fine particles concentration of ESP outlet can decrease 34% under typical flue gas conditions. the conditioning effects of large particle sizes are better than that of small particle sizes, and the atomized water conditioning effect has been remarkably improved with the increase of dust concentration.
