MicroMist Evaporative Gas Conditioning
Enhance Particulate Control and Improve Collection Efficiency for ESPs and Fabric Filters
EnviroCare’s MicroMist Evaporative Gas Conditioning (EGC) system is a proven technique for conditioning flue gas prior to electrostatic precipitators or fabric filters. By introducing finely atomized water into the gas stream, the system reduces gas volume, lowers temperature and raises moisture content, resulting in significantly improved particulate collection performance.
With water flow capacities up to 440 gpm (100 m³/hr), the MicroMist EGC system delivers reliable, efficient gas conditioning for a wide range of industrial applications. EnviroCare provides complete spray tower design and supply, with nozzle sizes ranging from 0.5 gpm to 60 gpm to match your specific process requirements.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Water Atomization
Finely atomized water is introduced into the flue gas stream through precision-engineered MicroMist nozzles, producing droplets optimized for rapid evaporation.
Evaporative Cooling
As water evaporates, it absorbs heat from the gas stream, reducing temperature and gas volume while increasing moisture content.
Gas Conditioning
The conditioned gas exhibits improved characteristics for particulate collection, including reduced velocity, increased humidity and optimized particle behavior.
Enhanced Collection
Conditioned gas enters the electrostatic precipitator or fabric filter, where improved gas properties result in higher collection efficiency and better overall system performance.

Benefits For Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)
Reduced Gas Volume and Velocity
Lower gas velocity allows more time for particle collection, improving overall ESP efficiency.
Increased Humidity
Higher moisture content reduces particle resistivity, enhancing electrical charging and collection.
Increased Specific Collection Area
Reduced gas volume effectively increases the collection surface area relative to gas flow.
Increased Particle Migration Velocity
Improved gas conditions accelerate particle movement toward collection plates.
Lowered Gas Viscosity
Reduced viscosity decreases drag on particles, improving migration and capture rates.
Benefits For Fabric Filters (FF)
Reduced Gas Volume and Pressure Drop
Lower gas volume decreases system pressure drop, reducing fan energy consumption.
Lower-Cost Filter Media Options
Reduced temperatures allow use of less expensive filter media materials.
Decreased Air-to-Cloth Ratio
Lower gas volume improves the air-to-cloth ratio, extending filter life and performance.
Improved Filter Cake Characteristics
Conditioned gas produces a filter cake with better release properties and lower pressure drop.
