Electrostatic Precipitators
Remove fine dust, smoke, ash and fumes from industrial exhaust — greater than 99% collection efficiency with low pressure drop and high temperature capability.
Selection guide
ESP models GPC-ESP-10K through GPC-ESP-100K
Overview
Electrostatic Precipitators
ESPs are air pollution control devices used to remove fine particulate matter (dust, smoke, ash, and fumes) from industrial exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere. They have high collection efficiency (>99%), low pressure drop and can handle large gas volumes and high temperatures.
ESP Applications
- Coal-fired power stations (fly ash removal)
- Cement manufacturing plants
- Pulp and paper mills
- Petrochemical and chemical plants
- Industrial boilers and furnaces
- Steel and metal processing industries
- Waste incineration facilities
- Mining and mineral processing operations
How it works
Charged particles collected on plates — clean gas exits the stack.
Electrostatic charging
Exhaust gas passes through discharge electrodes, charging fine particles
Plate collection
Charged particulate migrates to collector plates; rappers dislodge dust to hoppers
Clean discharge
Treated gas exits with minimal pressure drop before atmospheric release

Proven particulate control for large industrial exhaust streams
From gas inlet through perforated distribution plates, discharge electrodes and collector plates to hopper discharge — ESP technology delivers exceptional fine particulate capture for the most demanding emission sources.
>99% Collection Efficiency
High capture of fine dust, smoke, ash and fumes from exhaust gas streams.
Low Pressure Drop
Minimal energy penalty on exhaust fan and duct systems.
High Temperature Capability
Suited to boiler, furnace, kiln and incinerator exhaust.
Large Gas Volumes
Scalable from light industrial through to major power and cement plants.
