Atmospheric occurrences that decrease visibility, particularly fog, smoke, smog and the like, are cleared at sites such as airports by an array of EGD spray units emitting submicron size charged water droplets to attach to airborne particulates and electrostatically precipitate those to ground. Independent variables of the array and the EGD jets from the spray units are controlled to control the dependent variables characterizing the space-charge cloud thus developed. The methods and apparatus control the height to which clearing of the airborne particulates occurs to improve visibility and the time required for such clearing. Specific compact spray units are self-contained, can be radio operated, and are movable. Placement of the units for removal of radiation and advection fog with respect to airport runways include a square array of the spray units proximate the runway for radiation fog control and upwind location of arrays for advection fog precipitation. Specific characteristics of small, medium and large spray units suitable for use in the arrays are set forth.

194 Electrostatic coalescing system US71154 1979-08-30 US4224124A 1980-09-23 Kenneth E. Pope
An electrode is fluid-coupled to the driven electrode, which is directly connected to either an AC or a DC source of potential. The driven electrode is provided with the usual ground electrode to establish the electrostatic field of a coalescing system. The electrode fluid-coupled to the driven electrode is positioned to establish two zones in the electrostatic field. A fluid mixture is passed through the two zones of the electrostatic field, in sequence. The intensity of the field in the first zone decreases as the dispersed polar fluid of the mixture increases, in relation to the less polar fluids of the mixture. At the same time, the field in the second zone increases in intensity. The field gradient shifts between the two zones, in accordance with the quantity of the polar fluid in the mixture passed through the zones in the field, in sequence.

196 Method and apparatus for separation of fluids with an electric field and centrifuge US816227 1977-07-18 US4116790A 1978-09-26 Floyd Leon Prestridge
Fluids are separated from each other by passing their mixture through an electric field and centrifuge in sequence. The drops of a first fluid dispersed in a second fluid are coalesced by the force of an electric field to a predetermined size. The mixture is then passed into a centrifuge which develops the force to move the coalesced drops away from the other fluids of the mixture without reaching the value at which fluid shear forces, between the coalesced fluid and the fluid in which the coalesced fluid is dispersed, will fragment the coalesced drops.

198 Method and apparatus for degassing gas contaminated particulate material US655088 1976-02-04 US4056368A 1977-11-01 Walter J. Rozmus
An apparatus and method are disclosed for cleaning contaminated particulate material, such as, gas contaminated powder metal. Degassification is accomplished by introducing contaminated particulate material into a vacuum chamber which is connected to a vacuum pump. One or more electric fields are produced within the vacuum chamber by applying a potential across one or more sets of electrodes. The electrical field charges the contaminants and excites them so that the contaminants are separated for the particulate material and, in the case of a gaseous contaminant, are more easily removed from the vacuum chamber.

200 Electrostatic filter US27568572 1972-07-27 US3841840A 1974-10-15 COBARG C; BOEHM H; HUNDHAUSEN E
An electrostatic filter for use in an air-cleaning appliance suitable for residential as well as industrial premises has electrodes separated by a substance which permanently adsorbs or absorbs the particles carried by the air, or converts them into innocuous compounds by a chemical transformation or reaction, so as to prevent the particles from being returned to the ambient air when the appliance is switched off. The substance may, for example, be one having a large surface area, such as activated carbon, kieselguhr zoltile, gels or the like, or an oxidizing or reducing agent, e.g., potassium permanganate or sodium persulphate, and may be applied in the form of a surface layer either to at least one of the electrodes or to a spacer element therebetween. To optimize the effectiveness of the substance, auxiliary heating may be provided if necessary. The spacer element, if provided, may be corrugated or folded so as to increase its surface area, the air passing along the corrugations or folds.
