Abstract

A method for reduced temperature operation of flue gas collectors is disclosed wherein the benefits of low temperature operation are made possible by avoidance of the acid dewpoint limit. The process increases the specific collecting area of the collector, results in lower pressure drop through the collector and, where the collector is an electrostatic precipitator, allows improved collection efficiency through higher electric field strength and reduced particulate resistivity.
