Electrostatic Precipitator is an air pollution control equipment which separates the dust particles from flue gases. It is basically used for Boiler applications. Dust is collected on Collecting electrodes and gets separated by means of excitation of Collecting Electrodes. The excitation is nothing but the displacement of Collecting electrodes from its mean position. The different methods of rapping i.e. Traditional rapping, Modified rapping and Hybrid rapping methods and relative comparison of advantages and disadvantages are reviewed in this research paper.
