Abstract
In the latter part of 1974, the TC-1 Committee of the APCA undertook a survey of four (4) major user industries of electrostatic pre-cipitators. The purpose of the survey was to establish the users’ degree of satisfaction with this equipment from an operational and a maintenance viewpoint. Specific areas of maintenance requirements were investigated as well as the nature of difficulty experienced. The 174 responses received covered user experience with 243 precipi-tators of various manufacturers. This paper reports on the results of this survey and gives the statistics derived. The conclusions reached should be beneficial to the user and the manufacturer in the areas of product improvement and maintenance.
This is the first of this type of survey handled by the TC-1 Committee, and it will be followed by Fabric Filter and Scrubber information gathering questionnaires. Problem areas so defined will be enlarged upon in future seminars planned under APCA auspices.
