The final step focuses on integrating both mechanical and electrostatic filtration mechanisms into a comprehensive simulation.

Electrostatically charged fibers play a crucial role in capturing fine particles that would otherwise escape purely mechanical filtration.

Filtration efficiency was simulated for five industrial filter media, now also taking into account electrostatic interactions between charged fibers and particles. These results were directly compared with experimental measurements from the @Institute for Environment & Energy, Technology & Analytics e.V. (IUTA). The high degree of agreement between the simulated predictions and the laboratory data confirms the reliability of GeoDict’s new electrostatic feature for modeling and optimizing industrial-grade electret filters.
