Wikipedia
precipitator
An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a filterless device that removes fine particles, such as dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.In contrast to wet scrubbers, which apply energy directly to the flowing fluid medium, an ESP applies energy only to the particulate matter being collected and therefore is very efficient in its consumption of energy (in the form of electricity).

precipitator
A precipitator is a device or equipment used to capture and remove particulate matter from exhaust or gas streams in industries and power plants to prevent air pollution. This is typically achieved through the use of electrostatic charge, causing particles to be attracted and stick to the sides of the equipment, allowing cleaner air to pass through. The collected particulate matter is then removed and disposed of.
