ELECTROSTATIC

PRECIPITATOR
GF2
 FLY ASH SYSTEM
THE FUNCTION OF FLY ASH SYSTEM:
- COLLECT FLY ASH FROM ESP HOPPER
- COLLECT FLY ASH FROM ECONOMIZER
- COLLECT FLY ASH FROM GAS AIR HEATER
- TRANSPORT FLY ASH TO THE COARSE ASH (CA),FINE ASH (FA) & TERMINAL
END STORAGE SILO
- UNLOAD THE FLY ASH FROM THE STORAGE SILO
ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
 Used only when firing coal
 By Passed when firing oil/gas
 Once flue gas flow established to close the bypass damper & open I/L & O/L dampers.
 Designed to bypass the flue gas flow around the ESP’s after the last pulveriser is shut
down
 Designed to have inlet ,outlet & bypass damper operation interlocked with the PA fan
starting & stopping

ESP DEPAC TRANSMITTER
 CYCLING TRANSMITTER

Depac Transmitter Filling Stage

Ash Inlet Valve Open

Outlet Valve Closed
Air Inlet Valve Closed

Function:
Fly ash is gravity fed from hopper. A level switch or back up timer initiates fluidizing.

Depac Transmitter Ash Fluidizing Stage

Ash Inlet Valve Closed

Outlet Valve Closed
Air Inlet Valve Open

Function:
Conveying air enters transmitter through the fluidizing disc at bottom, pressurizing the
transmitter and completely fluidizing the ash. At completion, a high pressure switch initiates
the discharges phase.
Depac Transmitter Discharge Stage

Ash inlet Valve Closed

Outlet Valve Open
Air Inlet Valve Open

Function:
A “Slug” of fluidizing ash is discharged into the pipeline by conveying air in the form
of a continuous, dense slug.

Depac Transmitter Conveying Stage

Ash inlet Valve Closed

Outlet Valve Open
Air Inlet Valve Open

Function:
The ash is being conveyed through the conveying line to storage. A low pressure switch
senses completion of conveying, and stage 1 initiates again.
DEPAC MANUAL TRANSFER

• Open air inlet valve – > 4bar

• When pressure gauge showing the reading 4 bar open discharge
valve
• Wait for pressure reading below 0.6 bar
• Close air inlet valve
• Close discharge valve
• Open the flap damper
• Start aeration blower to dropping the ash
• When depac transmitter was full, close the flap damper
• Repeat the step from no 1
