Abstract
The invention relates to the detection of the presence of back corona in an electrostatic precipitator, the measurement of parameters associated with back corona and the control of the electrostatic precipitator system and associated plant. The parameters detected provide indication of the sensitivity of the precipitator and dust to back corona formation, the severity of back corona occuring within the precipitator, the efficiency of the dust collection process and the level of dust build-up on the electrodes within the precipitator. These parameters may be displayed to the operator and used in controlling precipitator systems and associated plant.
