Equipment that removes dust, soot and other particles from gas streams, including electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, baghouses, cyclonic separators, air filters, diesel particulate filters and smog towers. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes removing particles from air or exhaust. These devices trap solid particles by electric charge, fabric, inertia or a porous filter, in power station flues, industrial stacks, vehicle exhausts and city air. A device is placed here by the particle removal method the cited article describes.

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a filterless device that removes fine particles, such as dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.
