The EFB was developed
specifically for the removal of fine particulate matter and condensable
hydrocarbons form industrial exhaust gas streams. Dust and aerosols are
ionized and then deposited onto the surface of pea-size gravel by
electrostatic forces. Some advantages of the EFB system
are:
Submicron Particulate – Electrostatic
collection onto the tremendous amount of surface provided by the granular
filter media results in high collection efficiencies, especially for
submicron particulates. Blue Haze – The EFB
captures submicron hydrocarbon aerosols, eliminating opacity and "blue
haze". Fire Resistance – The filter medium is
gravel. This makes the unit inherently resistant to fire
damage. "Sticky" Pollutants – Pollutant is
cleaned from gravel in external systems. This allows effective operation
with the sticky pollutants typical of hydrocarbon
fumes. Totally Dry – Pollutant is captured in its
original dry form, no sludges or slurries are involved Equipment is not
subject to corrosion, Low Power – Because of the
two stage electrostatic collection process, electrical power for the high
voltage is negligible. Easy Installation –
Equipment is small, especially the floor space required, allowing easy
retrofit into existing plants and low installation
costs. Durable Equipment – Simple rugged
components result in trouble-free operation. Use of gravel filter media
allows operation at elevated temperatures. |
