 Emission analysis

1: During WHRS on condition, ESP inlet temperature is ranging from 115-140°c and AQC temperature
ranging from 505-530°c and Emission from Cooler ESP is in between 18-25mg/nm3.

2:During ESP inlet temperature variation (and also simultaneously AQC temperature variation) from 125°c
To 250°c , there is change in dust resistivity typically from 10^13 ohm-cm to 10^10 ohm-cm.

3: Due to sudden change in dust resistivity, Corona Breakdown occurred inside ESP Field.

4: Corona breakdown results in Spark/Arc inside the field.

5: On occurrence of spark/Arc, controller reduces the mA in order to stabilize the field.

6: Disturbance of field results in increased emission from ESP beyond set limit i.e. 30mg/nm3.
