CFD Modeling of Electrostatic Precipitator

Electrostatic Precipitators demand highly uniform gas flow to meet particulate emission limits and achieve stable collection performance. In this study, CFD was used to evaluate flue gas flow distribution across the ESP cross-section and identify regions of velocity maldistribution impacting collection efficiency and dust re-entrainment.

The analysis supported the design and optimization of gas distribution (GD) screens and flow-conditioning devices to achieve near-uniform axial velocity profiles in line with ICAC guidelines. Special attention was given to controlling excessive velocities in the hopper region, Access the case study to see how CFD enabled ICAC-compliant ESP flow optimization.
