Abstract: Methods and systems for fluid stabilization are provided. The system includes a first electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a first passage. The first electrical field generator imparts a first electrical field to a fluid flowing through the first passage such that first particles and second particles entrained in the fluid are charged to a first polarity. A first collector positioned within the first passage collects the first particles charged in the fluid. A second electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a second passage is downstream from the first electrical field generator. The second electrical field generator imparts a second electrical field to the fluid discharged from the first passage and substantially neutralizes the second particles entrained in the fluid.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for minimizing a quantity of particulate matter entrained within a gas stream is provided. A coarse filter removes at least a portion of particulate matter having a relatively-large particle size from the gas stream. An agglomerator agglomerates particulate matter having a relatively-small particle size remaining in the gas stream into particulate clusters after the portion of the particulate matter having the relatively-large particle size has been removed by the coarse filter. An injector introduces an agglomerating material into the gas stream before the gas stream enters the agglomerator. The agglomerating material promotes agglomeration of the particulate matter having the relatively-small particle size into the particulate clusters. And a second filter receives the gas stream and removes at least a portion of the particulate clusters entrained within the gas stream exiting the agglomerator.
