Product Profile

Our company's ionization catcher integrates design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning. The ionization catcher series products are advanced equipment in the field of environmental protection and energy recovery, possessing an internationally leading level. Over the years, through practical applications and continuous optimization in numerous industrial projects, the product structure has become increasingly rational, with strong operational stability and high processing efficiency, capable of meeting various strict environmental protection and energy efficiency standards. The ionization catcher can be widely used in chemicals, coking, carbon, spraying, printing, and other industries, achieving efficient treatment of tar and particulate matter.

Core Concepts

Ionization catcher: When smoke containing impurities such as tar and droplets passes through this electric field, the impurities adsorbed with negative ions and electrons move to the precipitation electrode under the action of the electric field's Coulomb force, releasing the charged particles and adsorbing onto the precipitation electrode (charging phenomenon). When the mass of impurities adsorbed on the precipitation electrode increases to greater than its adhesion force, it will automatically flow down and be discharged from the bottom of the ionization catcher, while the clean gas exits from the upper part of the ionization catcher.

Ionization Catcher

Working Principle & Process Flow

The Ionization Catcher utilizes cutting-edge electrostatic precipitation technology to meticulously separate suspended particulate matter, tar, and aerosols from exhaust gas streams through a precise four-step physical process.

Phase 1 High-Voltage Ionization

The flue gas enters the tens of thousands of volts corona zone. The strong electric field tears gas molecules apart, generating a massive cloud of free electrons and negative ions.

Phase 2 Particle Charging

As tar, droplets, and dust particles pass through the electric field, they collide with these ions at high frequencies, acquiring a strong negative surface charge.

Phase 3 Directional Precipitation

Under the strong Coulomb force of the electric field, the charged impurities are rapidly pulled away from the main airflow and firmly adsorbed onto the precipitation electrode (anode tube).

Phase 4 Discharge & Recovery

When the mass of the adsorbed tar/impurities exceeds their adhesion force, they automatically flow downward by gravity into the bottom hopper for resource recovery, while the clean gas safely exits from the top.

Core System Components

Engineered with premium materials and advanced electrical controls to ensure safe, stable, and continuous high-efficiency precipitation of tar, mist, and particulate matter.

Corona System

The core assembly consists of corona wires, high-voltage porcelain insulators, suspension rods, upper/lower rings, and tensioning weights. Installed inside the tower, it generates an intense high-voltage electric field to ionize the surrounding gas, negatively charging tar, water mist, and dust mixtures.

🎛️ High Voltage Control Cabinet

The "brain" of the ionization catcher. It centrally manages power input, working voltage adjustment/output, fault alarms, and automatic cutoff. The operational status is clearly displayed via intuitive meters and indicator lights on the panel.

🔋 HV Silicon Rectifier Transformer

This crucial component steps up and rectifies the standard AC voltage from the control cabinet into a stable, high-voltage Direct Current (DC), supplying it directly to the internal corona electrode system.

🛡️ جعبه عایق

To prevent electrical tracking, creepage, and short circuits in highly humid environments, the high-voltage porcelain insulators are housed within a dedicated thermostatic box equipped with automated electric heating devices.

Core Performance Advantages & ROI

Designed to deliver absolute environmental compliance while generating significant economic returns. Our Ionization Catchers dominate complex exhaust streams.

♻️ Turn Waste into Profit

Highly efficient recovery of valuable pure tar, oils, and chemical solvents from the exhaust stream. For many coking and chemical plants, the recovered resources yield an economic return that can offset the entire equipment investment within 1-2 years.

🛡️ Ultimate Downstream Protection

By intercepting sticky resin, paint mist, and heavy tar upfront, the Ionization Catcher serves as the perfect pre-treatment barrier. It completely prevents downstream equipment (such as expensive RTO ceramic beds or ID fans) from clogging or catching fire.

Smart High-Frequency Power

Equipped with an intelligent high-frequency power supply capable of microsecond spark tracking and automatic arc extinguishing. This ensures maximum corona intensity without short circuits, reducing electrical energy consumption by up to 30%.

⚙️ Optimized Fluid Aerodynamics

Advanced honeycomb or specific tubular array design maximizes cross-sectional utilization. This ensures extremely uniform gas distribution and successfully overcomes the common defects of traditional catchers, such as wall-hanging, bridging, and internal arcing.

Coal Chemical & Coking Plant Tar Recovery System
Coking Plant

1.2 Million Ton/Year Coking Plant - Coal Gas Tar Recovery

چالش:

The facility struggled with high concentrations of coal tar aerosols (up to 2,500 mg/m³) in their raw gas, which frequently blinded their downstream desulfurization towers and caused severe ID fan vibration issues.

راه حل:

We integrated a twin-chamber Honeycomb Ionization Catcher featuring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel anode tubes and high-frequency pulsed power supplies.

Key Results

  • Tar Recovery Rate > 99.5%
  • Outlet Tar Emission < 20 mg/Nm³
  • Investment ROI Time 14 Months
