Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)-to-Baghouse Conversions
Why Convert Your ESP?
- Utilization of current resource
- Performance
- Cost Savings
- Fuel Flexibility
- Minimize Outage
As electrostatic precipitator (ESP) equipment ages, the need for extensive maintenance and repairs increases. The end user must evaluate major repairs to the precipitator while at the same time evaluate the need for meeting regulatory requirements. Fabric filters are a proven technology that can provide more flexibility to meet future emissions limits. SPE-AMEREX can provide an ESP-to-baghouse conversion in a cost effective manner while providing guaranteed particulate emission levels.
A significant portion of your existing ESP structure can be utilized, saving on demolition, foundation and structural steel costs. Your new fabric filter internals can provide constant, reliable, repeatable control, meeting PM 10 and the filterable portion of PM 2.5, with secondary capture of SO2 and Hg, and other metals.
