Abstract
The report discusses precipitation malfunctions in the electric utility industry. When a utility electrostatic precipitator (ESP) fails to achieve its design efficiency, there must be a reason. Although the reasons are numerous, they can be placed in two distinct categories: ESP degradation is attributable either to hardware malfunctions or operation under improper conditions. The report discusses the various types of ESPs in the electric utility industry, along with design considerations. It summarizes the different types of malfunctions. For each type of malfunction, it gives the cause, duration, corrective action, and preventive measures. The report also gives the maintenance required to minimize the probability of malfunction. It describes inspection techniques for evaluating maintenance procedures, including what an inspector should look for during power plant ESP inspections.
