The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring at least one exhaust gas purification system for purifying an exhaust gas stream to be purified of an industrial system or an industrial process. The method comprises retrieving system data of the exhaust gas purification system from a data cloud. The system data stored in the data cloud were at least partially received beforehand by the data cloud from the exhaust gas purification system. The system data relate to at least measurement data of at least one sensor of the exhaust gas purification system and/or data about at least one adjustable parameter of the exhaust gas purification system. The method further comprises determining at least one quantity characterizing the exhaust gas purification system based on the retrieved system data.

An objective of the present invention is to achieve optimal operating guidance on day-to-day operations in a plant while also achieving, for example, soundness and reduced operating costs for a plant equipment piece without increasing the load on the central operation room, by determining the optimal configuration value for the operating value of the plant equipment piece. To this end, there is provided an equipment state monitoring device 331 for analyzing an operating state of a first plant equipment piece 303 during a prescribed period. The equipment state monitoring device 331 analyzes the operating state of the first plant equipment piece 303, and depending on a result of the analysis, carries out determination of an optimal operating value.

The present invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) system (1) for removal of particles from a flue gas flowing in a flow passage (4) being delimited by a primary collection in the form of a collection plate (5). The system comprises a discharge electrode (11) arranged in the flow passage and connected to a high voltage generator (12) providing for an electric field around the discharge electrode. The system further has a secondary collection electrode in the form of a grid (101) arranged within the collection plate and made of an electrically conductive material. The presence of such a grid improves the efficiency of the precipitator. In some embodiments, the ESP system comprises an actuator (112) for moving the grid upwards and letting it drop onto an internal bottom structure (109). The movement between the collection plate and the grid as well as the impact force imparted to the dropping grid both result in a removal of collected particles.

A system for controlling an electrostatic precipitator includes a computer control system with a computer and a controller in operative communication with an electrostatic precipitator. The computer control system is operative to control performance of the electrostatic precipitator by controlling one or more of: a) a power supply that controls voltage between an electrically grounded vertical plate and a metallic wire electrode in the electrostatic precipitator; b) a first feeder valve and a second feeder valve in a hopper; and c) a power supply to an electrical coil in operative communication with a rapper.

A braking system for safely collecting brake dust produced by operation of a braking mechanism. The braking system comprises a collector apparatus coupled with a braking mechanism. The collector apparatus is able to include a shroud that surrounds the braking mechanism and a catch element coupled with the shroud for collecting brake dust exiting the shroud. As a result, when coupled with the braking mechanism, the collector apparatus is able to ensure that most or all brake dust, such as copper or other particles from the braking mechanism that break off from the breaking mechanism during operation of the braking mechanism, are removed from the braking mechanism and collected by the filter/catch of the collector mechanism.
