This book identifies the physical and engineering basis for the development of electrical equipment for electrostatic precipitators and thoroughly explores the technological factors which optimise the efficiency of the precipitator and hence minimise emissions, as well as future developments in the electrical field.

Using a minimum of mathematics this book provides a ready reference to problems, methods of operation and maintenance of electrostatic precipitators for electrical engineers concerned with power generation, engineers in papermaking, mining, cement works, chemical engineering, and municipal incinerators concerned with environmental protection measures.
