Biomass Electrostatic Precipitator Cleaning – University of St Andrews

Organisation Profile

The University of St Andrews commissioned a biomass plant to fuel their site in 2016. This biomass plant included an electrostatic precipitator to filter emissions released from the plant.

The Issues

Regular cleaning of electrostatic precipitators is vital to ensure their efficiency and longevity. However, this type of cleaning is highly specialised and potentially hazardous, therefore it is imperative to secure trained and professional industrial cleaners to undertake the task effectively and safely.
