What Does EP Stand For?
EP stands for Electrostatic Precipitator
An Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) is an air pollution control device that utilizes electrostatic charges to remove particulate matter from industrial exhaust gases. By applying a high-voltage electric field, the EP imparts a negative charge to particles in the gas stream, which are then attracted to positively charged collection plates. This efficient technology significantly reduces emissions of dust, smoke, and other pollutants, contributing to improved air quality and compliance with environmental regulations.
