Description:
The Brief discusses a demonstration of advanced electrostatic precipitator (ESP) diagnostics and technologies in India. Six Indian ESP specialists were selected by Southern Research Institute and their consultants, with the concurrence of EPA's project officer, to attend a course in ESPVI 4.0a, an advanced ESP simulation tool, to learn how to diagnose and apply solutions to recurring ESP problems, as well as design advanced ESP systems. In June 1997, these specialists were trained by U.S. experts for 2 weeks in ESP theory and ESPVI 4.0a software use, after which they returned to India to set up a similar course for industry. In February 1998, 35 Indian ESP specialists were trained in a similar manner by in-country experts at a New Delhi workshop cosponsored by this project. The project provided a synergism with concurrent ESP upgrade work in India sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development. Personnel involved in ESP training visited ESP sites, where flue gas conditioning and ESP troubleshooting were performed using the techniques taught inthe workshops.
