Overview
The International Conference on Electrostatic Precipitation (ICESP) have been organized in Monterrey, CA, USA (1981), Kyoto, Japan (1984), Abano Terme, Italy (1987), Beijing, China (1990), Washington, D.C., USA (1993), Budapest, Hungary (1996), Kyongju, Korea (1998), Birmingham, Alabama, USA (2001), Mpumalanga, South Africa (2004), Cairns, Australia (2006), Hangzhou, China (2008), Nuremberg, Germany (2011), Bangalore, India (2013), Wroclaw, Poland (2016), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (2018), Hangzhou, China (Due to the pandemic situation, ICESP XVI could not be held in Hangzhou in 2021) and Budapest, Hungary (2022). The ICESP conference will return to Kyoto in Japan after 40 years.
The conference objective is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas and concepts on the state-of-the-art of electrostatic precipitation, related sciences, and technologies, for power generation, cement, glass, pulp and paper, metallurgical and other industries. The Conference will cover one day of ESP School and three days of technical presentations. The technical presentation will consist in oral presentation and poster presentation.
