Ducon Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)

Watch our video to see how Ducon’s advanced Electrostatic Precipitator technology works to effectively clean industrial emissions:

Cleaning the Air with Advanced Technology

Ducon provides powerful air cleaning systems called Electrostatic Precipitators, or ESPs. Think of them as highly efficient filters for industrial smoke stacks. They remove tiny particles like dust, smoke, or mist from exhaust gases before they enter the atmosphere. We offer two main types: Wet ESPs and Dry ESPs, tailored for different needs.

Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESP)

Our Wet ESPs use a fine water spray to help capture even the smallest, stickiest, or wettest particles – down to sizes you can barely imagine (0.01 microns!). They are incredibly effective, often removing over 99.9% of particles and making exhaust plumes virtually invisible (“zero opacity”). WESPs are particularly good at handling:

• Acid mists (like those after certain pollution control systems in power plants)
• Sticky particles from dryers or ovens
• Fine smoke and aerosols
• Exhausts where condensation helps capture pollutants

Ducon’s special design prevents clogging, ensuring reliable operation even in tough conditions, like when burning challenging fuels such as Petcoke.

Dry Electrostatic Precipitators (DESP)

Ducon’s Dry ESPs use electricity to charge particles and collect them on metal plates – no water needed. These systems feature:

• Smart Controls: Advanced automatic systems optimize performance and reliability.
• Durable Design: Strong, heavy-duty internal parts are built for long service life.
• Effective Cleaning: A special “rapping” system automatically knocks the collected dust off the plates into collection hoppers.
• Handles Tough Dust: Features to prevent issues even with dust that is difficult to collect (high resistivity).

Dry ESPs are a robust solution for removing dry particulate matter from various industrial processes, including large boilers up to 600 MW.

Common Applications for Ducon ESPs

• Power Plant Boilers (Coal, Petcoke, etc.)
• Industrial Boilers
• Dryer & Oven Exhausts
• Wood Fiber & Laminator Exhausts
• Controlling Acid Mists & Aerosols
• Smoke & Opacity Reduction
• Removing Very Fine (Submicron) Particles
