Air pollution due to smoke around a thermal power station can be reduced by installing

  • Air pollution due to smoke around a thermal power station can be reduced by installing Electrostatic precipitator.
  • An ESP is a device used to remove particulate matter from the flue gases of a thermal power plant.
  • The ESP works on the principle of electrostatic attraction, where the particulate matter is charged and attracted towards the oppositely charged collecting plates.
  • The charged particulate matter is then removed from the plates and collected in hoppers.
  • By installing an ESP, the particulate matter emissions from a thermal power plant can be significantly reduced, thus improving the air quality in the surrounding areas.
  • ESPs can remove up to 99% of particulate matter emissions from the flue gases of a thermal power plant, making them an effective solution for reducing air pollution.
