Abstract
An electrostatic screen battery for emission control (ESBEC) system includes a plurality of screens arranged in an alternating manner, so that screens at a first electric potential are interposed with screens at a second electric potential, with an ionizer disposed upstream of the screens, wherein a particulate-containing exhaust stream passing by the ionizer and then through the screens deposits particulates onto the screens. In preferred embodiments the screens have hydrophobic surfaces.
