Air Quality Push Drives $7 Billion Electrostatic Precipitator Market
The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) market reached a value of $7.0 billion by 2023, according to a market research report by MarketsandMarkets™. This signifies a steady growth from $5.8 billion in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.97%. Imagine a powerful air filter that uses the force of electricity to capture pollutants. That’s the essence of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP), a technology employed in various industries to combat air pollution. Let’s delve into how this ingenious device works and its impact on air quality. The Science Behind the Spark: At the heart of an ESP lies the concept of electrostatics, the study of electric charges. An ESP consists of a series of high-voltage electrodes and grounded collector plates. These electrodes are charged positively, attracting airborne particles that carry a negative or neutral charge. Here’s the breakdown of the process: Ionization: As the polluted gas stream enters the ESP, a section called the ionizing sect
