An Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) is used in thermal power plants to remove fly ash and dust particles from flue gas before it is released through the chimney. Monitoring ESP efficiency is important for maintaining effective particulate collection and ensuring proper plant operation.

This ESP Efficiency Calculator helps you calculate ESP performance using two methods. You can select the calculation method based on the information available.

• Actual ESP Efficiency: Calculates efficiency using inlet and outlet dust concentration.
• Theoretical ESP Efficiency: Calculates efficiency using the Deutsch–Anderson equation, based on migration velocity, collecting plate area, and gas flow rate.

Enter the required values below and click Calculate Efficiency. You can also view the formula and step-by-step calculation and download the calculation report for reference.

Note: The theoretical ESP efficiency is an idealized calculation. Actual ESP performance can vary depending on operating conditions, dust properties, gas flow distribution, electrical conditions, and other factors.
