Optimization of CO and CO2Gas Reduction System Based on Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)

Abstract

Various attempts have been made to reduce pollutants from being released into the environment in large numbers, one of the most recent research using an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). By utilizing ionization in the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP), pollutants can be reduced to a minimum amount at a certain voltage and air flow velocity, and for this research, reduction measurements have been carried out. Measurement of reduction by flowing the pollutant smoke sample that is accommodated in the inlet tube to the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) and the smoke sample that comes out of the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) will be accommodated in the outlet container. The levels of CO and CO2 in the two tubes before and after being flowed were compared to get a reduction value So that the highest measurement is obtained at the highest CO reduction of 80.72% reduction when the voltage is 25 kV, and the gas discharge is 2 L/minute. Meanwhile, the highest CO2 reduction obtained in the type of ESP plate was parallel with reduction of 79.09% when the voltage was 25 kV, and the gas discharge was 2 L/minute. The ability of ESP reduction is directly proportional to the mains voltage. The ability of ESP reduction is inversely proportional to gas discharge.
