Electrostatic Precipitator

Construction
Please careful read the special manuals:
In connection with a delivery, the erection of the supplied equipment is a very important
function.
The erection can be carried out in various ways dependent on local conditions, however,
irrespective of local conditions, it is of utmost importance always strictly to follow
the instructions in the enclosed drawings and manuals in order to obtain an optimum result.
Subsequent are shown a number of main actions and sequences occurring during erection of an
electrostatic precipitator. Type E is mainly used at illustrations, but the procedure is nearly
the same for type F and C

Electrostatic Precipitator
Construction Foundation for pendular support

Check that the recessed foundation have been made correctly

in accordance with the load and assembly drawings.
Check the position of the foundation in relation to buildings
connected with the ESP.
