CoorsTek Electrostatic Precipitators and Insulators Durapure™

CoorsTek originally developed high-purity alumina electrostatic precipitator insulator (ESP) products in the 1960s to replace products manufactured with electrical-grade porcelain. In the early 1970s, CoorsTek commercialized high-grade alumina ceramic insulator products as the industry standard for high performance and reliable operation of electrostatic precipitator units. Engineered to perform in extreme, hostile electrostatic precipitator environments, CoorsTek DuraPure™ high-purity alumina ceramic works exceptionally well for discharge electrode system support insulators, rapping system insulators, feed-through bushing insulators, and anti-sway bars and insulators. DuraPure™ high-purity alumina ceramic offers higher quality material properties than electrical-grade porcelain in ESP applications, including: Alumina Reliability Better wear resistance Higher volume resistivity Greater mechanical strength More chemically inert Increased Value By using the advanced material properties of alumina, each electrostatic precipitator component will be able to: Last longer Lower maintenance Increase reliability Reduce costs ELECTROSTATIC INSULATOR (ESP) APPLICATIONS Providing maximum strength and volume resistivity, even at high temperatures for prolonged periods, DuraPure high-purity alumina ceramic is the insulator material of choice a wide range of environmentally regulated industries: Power Generation- Coal-fired and oil-fired plants Rock Products Processing Plants-Portland cement, lime, etc. Pulp, Paper, and Wood Products Mills- salt, cake and wood waste boilers Chemical Processing Plants- Sulfuric acid de-misting, etc. Steel Mills-Iron ore sinter plants, coal coking plants, open hearth, and basic oxygen furnaces Nonferrous Metals Processing Plants- Copper smelting Oil Refineries- Catalytic cracker units Municipal and industrial Waste Incineration Plants
