Wet Electrostatic Precipitator
Wet ESP systems for fine mist, oil fume, and sticky particulate in industrial flue gas—often as polish or primary control.
Where WESP fits
WESP captures sub-micron and sticky aerosols that scrubbers and mechanical filters leave behind. It is widely applied to oil mist, food frying fumes, and polishing stages after wet pretreatment.

How the system works
Particles are charged in a high-voltage field and collected on irrigated plates or tubes. Continuous washing prevents sticky buildup. Upstream spray towers often remove coarse load before the WESP polish stage.
- 01Wet pretreatment removes coarse load and conditions the gas.
- 02High-voltage electrodes charge fine droplets and particles.
- 03Charged contaminants migrate to collecting surfaces.
- 04Automatic washing removes collected material and maintains performance.
