ICESP VIII CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS C-2 SERIES

Held in Birmingham, AL, USA
May 14 - 17, 2001

The International Conference on Electrostatic Precipitation (ICESP) is the official conference of the International Society for Electrostatic Precipitation (ISESP).  

The following is a list of the Abstracts for the C-2 Series papers from the VIII ICESP Conference.  

C2-1 IPC System and New Type T/R Microcomputer Control
Guo Jun, Fujian LongKing Environment Protection Co., Ltd

Abstract
In this paper, a new development of Electrostatic Precipitator IPC System is introduced.  The technical idea is discussed for development of ESP computer control in two ways of macro-control and micro-control.  This paper emphasizes on the development of MVC-196 new type microcomputer control and the improvement of IPC function.

Key work:  IPC system; microcomputer device; macro-control; micro-control

C2-3 Low Maintenance Robust Pulse Power for Pulsed Corona NOx and Sox Control
P.H. Swart and R. Strydom

Abstract
Pulse corona application for the removal of NOx and Sox in Fossil fuelled power stations is presently considered to be a viable and competitive technology.  It holds considerable promise in price and effectiveness, provided that suitable low maintenance and reliable pulse power can be obtained to power these systems.  This paper discusses new pulse power technology that will be applicable to the intended application and presents new switching topologies that promise the reliability, low cost and low maintenance that will be essential to render these systems viable. A number of existing alternative generic topologies are compared, emphasizing strong and weak points, followed by a discussion of the all-solid state low voltage resonant switching topology that will be used by the authors in a new commercial development in South Africa and a brief projection of how this technology can be utilized in a full-sized installation.

C2-4 Identification of Optimal Parameters for Pulsed Energization of ESPs
Norbert Klippel, Alstom Power Technology

Abstract
The limitations and opportunities of pulsed energization are discussed based on theory and laboratory experiments with flexible pulse shapes and widths. The influence of pulse length on ESP efficiency was measured for fly ash of high resistivity above 1013Ωcm.  An interesting finding is that the shortest selected pulses of 20µs did not result in the highest performance.  Instead the efficiency increases with pulse length when the average corona current is kept constant.  This increase reaches its limit when sparking occurs at pulse lengths that approach ion transit time.  The best parameter setting is therefore a compromise between optimization of field charging and suppression of sparks.  This optimum is depending on the actual ESP geometry.  Measurements for a commercial design with helical wire electrodes and standard collecting plates of 300 mm spacing are presented within the range of pulse lengths between 20µ and 0.5ms.  The general limitation of pulsed energization is discussed in the frame of a modified Deutsch model that takes the average charging current into account.
