Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

CHAPTER- 10

ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

10.1 Design Data

The electrostatic precipitator(s) (ESP) of each unit shall be arranged in

minimum four (4) independently operating gas streams (casings) for 660 MW
unit and six (6) independently operating gas streams (casings) for 800 MW
unit. Each gas stream/ casing shall be provided in twin compartments. ESP
shall be designed to comply with the requirements stipulated under guarantee
point and design point in the table below:
