4.12 Innovative technologies Electrostatic dust collector To filter the last remaining dust particles from the flue gas stream as well, SOLARFOCUS has developed an integrated electrostatic dust collector. A special discharge electrode with a high voltage of up to 30 kV ionises the fine dust particles, which then form a layer of dust on the collection electrode.
