INTRODUCTION We are Setting up 2x600 MW Coal Based Thermal Power Plant at Mahan Bandhaura Site.

Electrostatic Precipitator is playing a vital role in most of the industries, such as1) Thermal Power Plant 2) Cement Plant3) Chemicals industries 4) Steel Plant 5) Paper Industries & etc

An electrostatic precipitator is a large, industrial emission-control unit. It is designed to trap and remove dust particles from the exhaust gas stream of an industrial process.

In large power plants may actually have multiple no. of fields for each unit. In our plant, there are 9 no. of fields per unit.



MAJOR COMPONENTS OF ESP:1) Rectifier Transformer2) Discharge Electrodes3) Collecting Electrodes4) Gas Distribution Systems5) Rapping system6) Hopper.

About Rectifier Transformer:- The power supply system is designed to provide high voltage to the field to increase the

collection efficiency at the highest possible level

The power supply system has four basic components:1) Step-up transformer2) High-voltage rectifier 3) Sensing device 4) Automatic voltage control



DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

The voltage must be controlled to avoid causing sustained arcing or sparking between the electrodes and the collecting plates

Automatic voltage control varies the power to the transformer-rectifier in response to signals received from sensors in the precipitator and the transformer-rectifier itself.

AVR monitors protects the internal components from arc-over damages, and protects the transformer-rectifier and other components in the primary circuit.

Automatic voltage control would produce the maximum collecting efficiency by holding the operating voltage of the precipitator at a level just below the spark-over voltage.



Spark reaction When the voltage applied to the field is too high, then spark over will occur.

A voltage controller will monitor the primary and secondary voltage and current of the circuit, and detect a spark over condition.

Once detected, the power applied to the field will be immediately cut off or reduced, which will stop the spark.

After a short amount of time the power will be ramped back up, and the process will start over.



Tripping

When a condition occurs that the voltage controller cannot control, often times the voltage controller will trip.

A trip means the voltage controller (by way of the contactor) will shut off the individual precipitator power circuit.

A short inside the electrostatic precipitator field caused by a fallen discharge electrode (wire), or a shorted out Silicone Controlled Rectifier are examples of

conditions that a voltage controller cannot control.



About Discharge Electrodes:- Discharge electrodes emit charging current and provide voltage that generates an

electrical field between the discharge electrodes and the collecting plates.

The particles then precipitate onto the collecting plates. Common types of discharge electrodes include:

1) Straight round wires 5) Rigid frames 2) Rigid spiked pipes 6) Spiral wires 3) Twisted wire pairs 7) Barbed discharge wires 4) Rigid masts



Rigid Electrode Spiral Electrode



About Collecting Electrodes:- Collecting plates are designed to receive and retain the precipitated particles until they

are intentionally removed into the hopper. Collecting plates are also part of the electrical power circuit of the precipitator.



About Gas distribution system:

Gas velocity distribution can be most effectively influenced by the use of gas distribution devices. Ideally, uniformity is desired in:

1. Gas velocity 2. Gas temperature 3. Dust loading

Gas distribution devices consist of turning vanes in the inlet ductwork and perforated gas distribution plates and in the outlet fields of the precipitator, flat distribution plate is used.



INLET GD SCREEN OUTLET GD SCREEN



Rapping System:To improve collection efficiency and ensure proper functional use of the precipitator, a rapping system is applied to the collection and emitting electrodes to dislodge the collected dust layer.

1) Collecting Rapping System:

Collecting plate rapping must remove the bulk of the precipitated dust. The collecting plates are supported directly with hooks from the precipitator casing.

The impact of the rapping system is directed into the Shock bar located at the leading and/or trailing edge of the collecting plates.

The first electrical field generally collects about 60-80% of the inlet dust load. So the first field plates should be rapped often for the every cycle.

1) All the above data are estimated value, especial the rapping mechanism. It should be adjusted iterative according to actual working condition.

2) Each rapping time is 1.5 mins


Rapping cycle for the each field as follows:-

2) Emitting Rapping SystemIn general, discharge electrodes should be kept as free as possible of

accumulated particulate. The rapping system for the discharge electrodes should be operated on a continuous schedule with repeat times in the 2 - 4 minute range, depending on the size and inlet particulate loading of the precipitator.



3) Rapping System for Distribution ScreenThe gas distribution plates should also be kept free of excessive particulate buildup and may require rapping on a continuous base with a cycle time in the 10-20 minute range, depending on the inlet particulate loading of the precipitator and the nature of the particulate. Gas distribution plates in the outlet of the precipitator may be rapped less often (every 30 - 60 minutes).



4) Bottom HopperPrecipitator hoppers are designed to completely discharge dust load on demand. Typically, precipitator hoppers are rectangular in cross-section with sides of at least 60-degree slope. These hoppers are insulated from the neck above the discharge flange with the insulation covering the entire hopper area. In addition, baffles are provided in the hopper to avoid the seepage.

BASIC PRINCIPLES:-

Electrostatic precipitation removes particles from the exhaust gas stream by Six activities typically and they are

1) Ionization

2) Migration/Drift Velocity

3) Precipitation.

4) Charge Dissipation

5) Particle Dislodging

6) Particle RemovalSaturday, April 22, 2023 2 x 600 MW Mahan Thermal Power Project

4. Precipitation

Working Principle: The high voltage supply (72 KV) is applied to the Field, the discharge electrode emits the

negatively charged ions. Particles suspended in a gas enter the precipitator and pass through ionized zones around

the high voltage discharge electrodes, the particles are get ionized with negative and positive charged ions. This is called as Corona Formation





The negatively charged gas field around each electrode charges the particles causing them to migrate to the electrodes of opposite polarity, i.e. the collecting electrodes.

The charged particles gather on the grounded collecting plates. Rappers dislodge the gathered particulate, which falls into the collection hoppers for removal.
