Abstract:
An emissions reduction stack includes a conditioning section, collector section utilizing a Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP), and output section. A chemically active aqueous stream is introduced into an incoming process stream in order to saturate the stream and produce a fog stream wherein water is condensed on the surface of particulates. The process of condensation increases the efficiency of the particulate filtration process conducted by the WESP.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for fluid stabilization are provided. The system includes a first electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a first passage. The first electrical field generator imparts a first electrical field to a fluid flowing through the first passage such that first particles and second particles entrained in the fluid are charged to a first polarity. A first collector positioned within the first passage collects the first particles charged in the fluid. A second electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a second passage is downstream from the first electrical field generator. The second electrical field generator imparts a second electrical field to the fluid discharged from the first passage and substantially neutralizes the second particles entrained in the fluid.
