Abstract
A method and apparatus for ultra-high particulate collection of sub-micron aerosols in a fuel gas conveys the fuel gas to a first venturi scrubber for removing a relatively large amount of particulates and leaving a smaller particulate load which is not removable in the first venturi scrubber. The fuel gas with the smaller particulate load is then conveyed to an electrostatic agglomerator for agglomerating the remaining smaller particles in the smaller particle load into larger particles. The fuel gas with the agglomerated larger particles is then conveyed to a second venturi scrubber for removing the agglomerated larger particles.
