Electrostatic filtration arrangement

A particle mitigation arrangement comprising:

• a particle intake chamber having an inlet region in gas communication with the gas segregation region;
• at least one electron emitter bar disposed within the chamber and comprising tapering sidewalls terminating at an apex;
• a power source electrically coupled to the electron emitter bar and configured to emit a curtain of electrons from the apex to negatively charge dust particles that pass through the curtain of electrons;
• and
• a plurality of particle retention surface pairs disposed between the electron emitter bar and the gas segregation region,
• the power source is configured to maintain a voltage potential difference between each of the particle retention surface pairs to attract and retain the charged particles.

An electrostatic particle filter comprising:

• a particle intake chamber having an inlet region in gas communication with a gas segregation region;
• an electron emitter bar having an apex that points horizontally within the chamber;
• a direct current source electrically connected to the emitter bar;
• and
• a plurality of parallel particle retention surface pairs connected to the direct current source and disposed between the emitter bar and the gas segregation region, the direct current source configured to maintain each of the particle retention surface pairs at a voltage potential difference.
