For Electrostatic Precipitator we have terms and definitions in 4 topics. The topics are Air Quality, Atmospheric Chemistry, Boiler and Science.

Electrostatic Precipitator (Air Quality)

An air pollution abatement device that removes particulate matter from a gas stream by imparting an electrical charge to the particles for mechanical collection on an electrode

Electrostatic Precipitator (Atmospheric Chemistry)

A device that reduces pollution from smokestacks. It gives the particles in smoke a electrical charge. The charged particles are then collected on filters that have the opposite charge and thereby removed from the emission stream. [Fleisher, Paul. Ecology A to Z. Dillon Press, New York. 1994. p. 70.]

Electrostatic Precipitator (Boiler)

A device for collecting dust, mist or fume from a gas stream, by placing an electrical charge on the particle and removing that particle onto a collecting electrode.

Electrostatic Precipitator (Science)

A device that traps particles in industrial waste gas by attracting them to electrically charged plates
