“Growing Shift Toward Hybrid Electrostatic Precipitators in Industrial Applications”
- Hybrid electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), which integrate electrostatic and mechanical filtration methods, are increasingly being adopted for their ability to efficiently remove ultra-fine particles
- For instance, hybrid ESPs installed in Indian power plants have shown notable improvement in PM2.5 capture
- The demand for hybrid ESPs is surging in sectors such as cement and thermal power due to their large emission outputs. Major cement manufacturers in Southeast Asia have begun upgrading to hybrid units to comply with newer emission limits
- Hybrid systems offer more consistent particulate removal even when plant output fluctuates, making them ideal for facilities with variable operational loads
- Stricter air quality regulations in countries such as China and India are pushing industries to adopt advanced solutions such as hybrid ESPs to stay compliant
- Industries across the region are investing in retrofitting old ESPs with hybrid technologies to improve efficiency and meet evolving environmental standards
