Installation of an electrostatic precipitator in the FCC plant of Duna Refinery (DR)

After the revamp of DR FCC unit in 2005 over the limit dust emission was measured in the flue gas of the unit.

Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) equipment was installed in the flue gas system in the frame of a project for decreasing the emission below the environmental limit. This paper
presents the electrostatic precipitation technology and the equipment overview, summarizes the basic design work. Oneyear operational experience is also shared in this work.
