WET ESP

Advanced air pollution control engineered for maximum sub-micron particulate removal.
Setting new benchmarks in clean gas discharge and sustainable emissions management.

WET ESP

Mazda’s Condensing WESP delivers superior collection efficiency for fine mists, aerosols, and sub-micron particulates.
Designed for low pressure drop and high reliability across a wide range of industrial gas streams.

WET ESP

Product Overview

The Mazda Condensing Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) is a high-efficiency air pollution control device tailored for industries dealing with wet or saturated gas streams. Using a high-voltage electrical field, it charges and captures fine particles, mist, and condensed aerosols with up to 99.9% efficiency. The system integrates pre-scrubbing, indirect gas cooling, and intermittent washing for continuous, low-maintenance performance. Mazda’s proprietary design ensures effective sub-micron particle removal while operating at minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for applications requiring stringent emission standards and long-term reliability.

Advantages

  • Extremely high collection efficiency, even for sub-micron particles
  • Operates with very low pressure drop, reducing energy consumption
  • Integrated gas cooling, scrubbing, and recycling for process efficiency
  • Corrosion-resistant construction for harsh process environments
  • Modular design allows easy scalability and maintenance
  • Ideal for removing acid mists, heavy metals, and fine liquid droplets

Gas enters the WESP after being pre-scrubbed and cooled. Within the collector, high-voltage electrodes generate a corona discharge, ionizing the gas stream. Sub-micron particles and mists become electrically charged and are then attracted to grounded collection electrodes. These surfaces are periodically washed down with water to remove accumulated material. Mazda’s proprietary design ensures smooth gas distribution, efficient particle capture, and reliable operation across varying load conditions.

WET ESP - FAQs

What is a WET ESP?

A Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WET ESP) is an air pollution control system designed to remove fine particles, mists, aerosols, and other sub-micron contaminants from wet or saturated gas streams. It uses a high-voltage electrical field to charge and collect fine contaminants from the gas stream.

How does a WET ESP work?

Gas enters the WET ESP after pre-scrubbing and cooling. High-voltage electrodes create a corona discharge that charges particles and mists in the gas stream. The charged contaminants are attracted to grounded collection electrodes, where they accumulate and are periodically washed away with water.

What pollutants can a WET ESP remove?

A WET ESP is designed for the collection of sub-micron particles, fine mists, aerosols, acid mists, heavy metals, and fine liquid droplets. The technology is particularly useful where very fine contaminants need to be removed from industrial gas streams.

Is WET ESP suitable for sub-micron particle removal?

Yes. WET ESP technology is particularly suited to high-efficiency collection of sub-micron particles. Mazda's Condensing WESP is designed to provide high collection efficiency for fine particles, mists, and condensed aerosols.

Can a WET ESP handle wet or saturated gas streams?

Yes. Mazda's WET ESP is specifically designed for wet or saturated gas streams. The system incorporates pre-scrubbing and indirect gas cooling before the gas enters the electrostatic collection section.

What is the advantage of using a WET ESP after a scrubber?

A WET ESP can act as a final polishing stage after wet scrubbing. While the scrubber handles appropriate bulk contaminants, the WET ESP can capture remaining fine particles, mists, aerosols, and sub-micron contaminants to improve the quality of the treated gas.

Does a WET ESP have high pressure drop?

WET ESP systems operate with very low-pressure drop, which can help reduce the energy required to move the gas through the pollution-control system. This is one of the advantages of using electrostatic collection for fine particulate and mist removal.

How are collected particles removed from a WET ESP?

The collection electrodes are periodically washed with water to remove accumulated particles and contaminants. This wet washing arrangement supports continuous operation and helps minimize manual cleaning requirements.

What are the main advantages of a WET ESP?

Key advantages include high collection efficiency for sub-micron particles, fine mist and aerosol removal, very low-pressure drop, integrated gas cooling and scrubbing, corrosion-resistant construction, modular design, and reliable continuous operation.

Why choose Mazda Limited for WET ESP systems?

Mazda Limited manufactures Condensing WET ESP systems designed for industrial gas streams requiring high-efficiency removal of fine particles, mists, aerosols, and sub-micron contaminants. Mazda's system integrates pre-scrubbing, gas cooling, electrostatic collection, and intermittent washing into an engineered pollution-control solution.
