Task 1: Electrostatic precipitators (4P)
a)95% of the particles of an aerosol are removed by an electrostatic precipitator which is
operated at an electric field strength in the inter electrode space of 450kVm. The clean
gas concentration is 8mgm3. The plant operator knows that the field strength can be
increased to 600kVm. Could this electrostatic precipitator still be used if legal the dust
concentration limit in the clean gas is reduced to 2mgm3? Calculate the clean gas
concentration under the assumption that the particle charge is given by the particles
field charge limit.
