Presentation Transcript

  1. Indigo Agglomerator Reducing Particulate Emissions & Reducing Opacity

  2. Agglomerated Particles

  3. Agglomerator Is Like An ESP • Grounded plates • Discharge electrodes • Alternating arrangement • High voltage energization • Low pressure drop

  4. Agglomerator Is Not Like An ESP • No collection • No hoppers • No rappers • High velocity / small size • +/- high voltage • Low power consumption

  5. THE INDIGO AGGLOMERATOR

  6. THE BENEFITS • Reduced mass emissions • Reduced visible emissions • Greater compliance safety margin • Increased choice of fuel supply • Higher tolerance for • Boiler upsets • Lost electrical sections of ESP
