Alfa Omega India provides innovative Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) designed to reduce air pollutants by removing fine dust particles from industrial flue gases. There are extensive uses for the ESP in power plants, the cement industry, steel making plants, and chemical plants throughout the world. Alfa Omega India enables compliance with environmental standards and specialty efficiency with our ESP equipment.
Our ESP provides cleaner emissions with our ESP dust collection technology removing dust particles as small as 0.01 microns with the help of electrostatic charge. Our robust training and CFO maintenance can provide lower downtime with Alfa Omega and operate at the lowest operating costs possible
The working of an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) is based on the use of electrostatic forces to capture and separate fine particulate matter from industrial flue gases. The process ensures high collection efficiency while keeping energy consumption low. Below is a simplified breakdown of how ESPs function:
Ionization: When polluted flue gas enters the ESP chamber, it first passes through high-voltage discharge electrodes. These electrodes generate a corona discharge that releases electrons, ionizing the gas molecules.
Particle Charging: Dust and ash particles suspended in the gas stream collide with the ions and acquire an electric charge (typically negative). Once charged, these particles are influenced by the strong electrostatic field within the chamber.
Particle Collection: The charged particles are driven towards large grounded collector plates (also called collecting electrodes). As they move, they adhere to the surface of these plates, gradually forming a layer of dust.
Dust Removal: To prevent excessive buildup, the collecting plates are periodically cleaned using mechanical rapping or vibration systems. This dislodges the dust cake, which falls into hoppers located at the bottom of the ESP for safe disposal or recycling.
This continuous cycle of ionization, charging, collection, and cleaning ensures that harmful particulates are effectively removed from the exhaust stream, enabling industries to maintain environmental compliance

Chemical and fertilizer industries
Electrostatic Precipitators are available in different designs to suit varied industrial applications, depending on the nature of dust, gas composition, and process requirements. The major types are:
Type | Ideal Applications | Key Features |
---|---|---|
Dry ESP | Power plants, cement industries, coal-fired boilers | Best suited for dry dust like fly ash; easy dust handling; lower corrosion risk due to absence of moisture. |
Wet ESP | Chemical plants, fertilizer units, industries with acid mist or sticky particles | Designed for high-moisture or corrosive gases; effective for sticky, oily, or fine mist removal; includes water-wash systems for plate cleaning. |
Plate-Type ESP | Power generation, steel, and metallurgical plants | The most common design; uses parallel plates as collecting electrodes; efficient for high dust loads. |
Tubular ESP | Space-constrained layouts, industries handling fine or high-resistivity particles | Uses cylindrical collector electrodes; compact design; excellent for fine particulate collection and applications with limited space. |
By selecting the right ESP type, industries can achieve maximum efficiency and ensure reliable long-term performance, even under challenging operating conditions
