Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for removing electrically-conductive contaminants entrained in airstream. The airstream is preferably redirected to separate the electrically-conductive contaminants from the airstream. The separated electrically-conductive contaminants may then be oxidized.
Claims22
A method of removing electrically-conductive contaminants entrained in airstream, said method comprising:
- redirecting the airstream to separate said electrically-conductive contaminants from the airstream;
- and
- oxidizing said separated electrically-conductive contaminants.
An apparatus for removing electrically-conductive contaminants entrained in an airstream, said apparatus comprising:
- at least one baffle for redirecting the airstream and separating said electrically-conductive contaminants from the airstream;
- and
- an electric grid for oxidizing said electrically-conductive contaminants separated from the airstream.
A system for removing electrically-conductive contaminants entrained in airstream, said system comprising:
- at least one electric grid for oxidizing electrically-conductive contaminants;
- and
- at least one baffle for redirecting the airstream to bring said electrically-conductive contaminants entrained in the airstream in contact with at least one electric grid.
