Dust Collector FAQs:What does the electrostatic precipitator filter out of the flue gas?
When wood is burned, flue gas is produced.This process is physically determined and can only be influenced to a limited extent.An electrostatic precipitator can filter the most harmful solids from the flue gas.The burning of natural wood (untreated, unprocessed) produces dust consisting of minerals, soot and tars.An efficient fireplace that meets modern standards can reduce soot and tars by itself.The most effective way to reduce mineral dusts is to use an electrostatic precipitator.An electrostatic precipitator does not filter out CO emissions, but catalytic converters can.
