Resistivity Analysis

CleanAir’s particle characterization laboratory provides flyash resistivity and particle size distribution analysis. A combination of this laboratory data and computer modeling is used to optimize the flyash collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and to predict the ESP performance over a wide range of flue gas conditions, such as varying temperatures and SO₃ concentrations. The laboratory routinely performs the following:

• Coal-switching studies that evaluate the resistivity of select coals and blends to predict ESP collection performance
  
• Studies of the effect of flue gas conditioning to improve ESP collection
  
• Increasing the generating output of units derated due to opacity
  
• ESP design/optimization consulting
