Abstract
A wet electrostatic precipitator includes an ancillary component cleaning device with a cleaning assembly moveably supportable within an electrostatic precipitator; the cleaning assembly having a scraper configurable to abut an ancillary component of the electrostatic precipitator, such that movement of the cleaning assembly within the electrostatic precipitator causes movement of the scraper with respect to the ancillary component and wherein the ancillary component includes a component of a separation assembly provided in the wet electrostatic precipitator to maintain electrical isolation between the discharge and collection electrodes.

A wet electrostatic precipitator comprising an ancillary component cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising:
- a cleaning assembly moveably supportable within the wet electrostatic precipitator;
- the assembly comprising a scraper;
- the scraper being configurable to abut an ancillary component of the wet electrostatic precipitator, such that movement of the cleaning assembly within the wet electrostatic precipitator causes movement of the scraper with respect to the ancillary component and wherein the ancillary component comprises a component of a separation assembly provided in the wet electrostatic precipitator to maintain electrical isolation between the discharge and collection electrodes.
A method of cleaning an ancillary component of a wet electrostatic precipitator comprising:
- providing a cleaning device comprising a cleaning assembly comprising a scraper;
- arranging the cleaning assembly of the cleaning device to be moveably supported within the wet electrostatic precipitator;
- configuring the scraper to abut the ancillary component of the wet electrostatic precipitator, such that movement of the cleaning assembly within the wet electrostatic precipitator causes movement of the scraper with respect to the ancillary component and wherein the ancillary component comprises a component of a separation assembly provided in the wet electrostatic precipitator to maintain electrical isolation between the discharge and collection electrodes.
