A self-contained electrostatic precipitator module adapted to be inserted into and removed from a housing as a unitary assembly includes a slatted, endless belt defining a composite attractor electrode-collector electrode subassembly, a forced air system for cooling and cleaning electrode holder structures, a power supply for establishing the charging and precipitating fields, a drive motor and train and mounting system for moving the endless belt, and rotary brushes at a remote location for neutralizing and cleaning the belt. The belt slats are flat, rigid members of simplified design and are individually mounted to allow selective replacement of a local belt section. Insulating gaps of optimized configurations are provided around high-potential electrode holders to prevent electrical shorting or sparking. Increased capacity is readily obtainable by employing plural units arranged in parallel within a common housing.
