NEW APPROACH TO PRECIPITATOR CONTROL AND MONITORING.

A new microprocessor-based control system eliminates the need for a separate control room, and the transformer/rectifier and rapper control circuits can now be installed on the roof. Operating and maintenance personnel can monitor, after if necessary, and troubleshoot the precipitator's operation from the plant's central control room. A substantial cost saving is realized by the elimination of the precipitator control room, the reduction in power and control cabling requirements, and the reduction in manpower requirements for monitoring and logging.
