Electrostatic precipitators (ESP): rehabilitation, erection and EPC

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is dust collection equipment that charges the dust particles in the flue gas with high voltage and holds them on collecting plates. HECON’s company profile records ESP work at three different plants: one rehabilitation, one erection and one EPC scope.

Oyka Kağıt: rehabilitation with casing modules

Client Oyka Kağıt, plant paper mill, equipment electrostatic precipitator. Scope of work: rehabilitation works on the electrostatic precipitator of the paper mill, including replacement of ESP casing modules.

Çan 2: overhaul first, then erection

The Çan 2 Power Plant is a 1 × 330 MW second-hand plant. Employer ODAŞ Elektrik, main contractor EFOR Endüstriyel, period April 2017 – August 2018. The rehabilitation and erection scope included electrostatic precipitator (ESP) installation; each component in the scope was overhauled first, then erected.

Çankırı Saltı: ESP systems within an EPC scope

At the Çankırı Saltı Salt Factory Thermal Power Plant (owner Medmar Tuz, EPC, August 2021 – February 2023), ESP filtration systems were part of the scope of work. Technical data:

• Gas flow: 96,269 m³/h
• Temperature: 160 °C
• Ash type: fly ash
• Collection area: 1,574.4 m²
• Output voltage: 95 kV DC peak
• Collection efficiency: 99.58%

Collection efficiency shows how much of the dust entering the precipitator is retained; 99.58% means that roughly 996 of every 1,000 units of incoming dust are captured.

On site: ESP, ducts and piping.
