Particulate matter (PM) emission control is a common problem in industries that operate boilers or incinerators for energy production, or furnaces, kilns and dryers for the manufacturing of products, such as ceramics, cement or pellets.
Complying with stack emission limits, avoiding the carry through of particles to downstream processes or purifying ambient air, are the main motivations for clients to reduce PM emissions.
Cyclones have the advantage of easily handling a wide range of operating temperatures, pressures and moisture conditions, unlike other dust collectors, e.g. bag filters. By its simple design, without any moving parts, cyclones have much lower maintenance costs than other industrial filtration systems.
ACS revolutionary approach to cyclone design dramatically enhances efficiency and frequently exempts the use of other filters as end stage dedusters.
Biomass and Coal Combustion Burning biomass and or coal releases particulate matter (PM) to the atmosphere, polluting the surroundings and harming the human health. PM emissions is a common prob...
The drying of biomass is common to many industries, including wood pellet making, panel boards and many others, from coffee to olive-oil or animal feed. Technologically, these industries operate drum ...
For PM emission control in very high temperature exhaust streams ( >600ºC ), such as gasification, pyrolysis and incineration, traditional bag filters following temperature exchangers, ceramic filters...
Given the difficulties in achieving results by increasing revenues, companies are turning more and more to cutting costs. Reducing energy consumption has become the target for many companies. In s...
The control of clinker fines emissions after the heat exchanger, placed downstream of the clinker cooler, is usually a problem for cement plant managers. The process is characterized by high materi...
In calcination processes, solid intermediates and products are regularly handled in the fine powder form (ex: kaolin or metakaulin). There is a need to separate these very fine powders from the exhaus...
Steel and ferroalloys manufacturing processes involve high temperature exhaust streams, often at more than 900ºC. Typically, the gas flows from the furnace (usually electric arch type) and goes into a...
For PM emission control in high temperature exhaust streams, such as those from fuel oil boilers, common dedusters like bag filters, have very high maintenance costs. The diesel and fuel oil fly ash c...
Glass and ceramic furnaces are typically associated with emissions of very fine particles (<5µm) in combination with high temperatures and load. An increasingly higher number of furnaces are powered w...
Several industries face problems from dust released during product transportation or processing. This is the case of the Textile, Wood Processing, Mining, Ink Manufacturing and other industries. ...
In Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) processes, widely used in oil refineries, the separation and recovery of powder catalysts is a major concern. Particularly, the concentration of catalyst after th...
