Answer 1

Right answer is (c) Electrostatic precipitators

Easy explanation: With stringent air quality restriction by the governments, majority of power plants in the world use electrostatic precipitators (ESP’s) for dust removal. An ESP can handle large volumes of flue gases accompanied low pressure drop and high collection efficiency (99.5%). It facilitates easy removal of dust particles.
