In a cool fired power plant electrostatic precipitators are installed to control emission of:
Options
- ANO _x
- BSPM
- CCO
- DSO ₂ .
Correct answer
B. SPM
Step-by-step solution
Electrostatic precipitators are widely used in power plants to remove particulate matter. ESPs work by inducing an electrostatic charge on the particulate matter in the flowing gas and using the forces that arise due to these electrostatic charges to filter out the particulate matter from the gas. The performance of an electrostatic precipitator is dependent on the electrical resistivity and the particle-size distribution.
