Proceedings <strong>of</strong> the National Conference on<br />

Trends and Advances in Mechanical Engineering,<br />

<strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> & <strong>Technology</strong>, Faridabad, Haryana, Oct <strong>19</strong>-<strong>20</strong>, <strong>20</strong>12<br />

The original parallel plate–weighted wire design (described above) has evolved as more efficient (and robust)<br />

discharge electrode designs were developed, today focusing on rigid (pipe-frame) discharge electrodes to which<br />

many sharpened spikes are attached (barbed wire), maximizing corona production. Transformer-rectifier systems<br />

apply voltages <strong>of</strong> 50 – 100 kV at relatively high current densities. Modern controls, such as an automatic voltage<br />

control, minimize electric sparking and prevent arcing (sparks are quenched within 1/2 cycle <strong>of</strong> the TR set),<br />

avoiding damage to the components. Automatic plate-rapping systems and hopper-evacuation systems remove<br />

the collected particulate matter while on line, theoretically allowing ESPs to stay in operation for years at a time.<br />

Carbon capture and storage (CCS), (carbon capture and sequestration), refers to technology attempting to<br />

prevent the release <strong>of</strong> large quantities <strong>of</strong> CO 2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel use in power generation and<br />

other industries by capturing CO 2 , transporting it and ultimately, pumping it into underground geologic<br />

formations to securely store it away from the atmosphere. It is a potential means <strong>of</strong> mitigating the contribution <strong>of</strong><br />

fossil fuel emissions to global warming. The process is based on capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from large point<br />

sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, and storing it where it will not enter the atmosphere. It can also be used<br />

to describe the scrubbing <strong>of</strong> CO 2 from ambient air as a geoengineering technique. Although CO 2 has been<br />

injected into geological formations for various purposes, the long term storage <strong>of</strong> CO 2 is a relatively new<br />

concept. Table 1 provides the details for the selection <strong>of</strong> various technological response from various associated<br />

environmental impacts due to coal combustion.<br />
