Power Industry Webinar Production & Promotion

Choosing Fabric Filters or Cartridge Collectors for Industrial Dust Control

Topics presented will include:

• Key sizing criteria for fabric filters – Air-to-Cloth Ratio and Can Velocity

• Sizing of cartridge collectors using Face Velocity

• Dealing with challenges such as hygroscopic and sticky dusts, hot gases, and limited space

• Comparing total installed and operating costs for fabric filters vs. cartridge collectors for specific cases

In this informative webinar, Jeffrey Shellenberger, Fabric Filter Product Manager and Duane Reinholt, Standard Products Commercial Manager, both from Amec Foster Wheeler will review how both fabric filters and cartridge collectors are best applied for collecting and controlling PM dusts for a wide range of industrial applications.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

• What device would you use for ferrous mineral dust control?

• Do you have a capital and operating cost comparison between cartridge collectors (CC) and fabric filters (FF)?

• Are your standard designs suitable for high wind areas and/or earthquake zones?

• Is there a difference in emissions performance between a cartridge collector and a baghouse?

• Are fabric filters or cartridge collectors applicable to any oil-fired boiler application for power generation for particulate control?

• What do you consider as high dust loading? What is low dust loading?

• What is the maximum temperature for pulse jet baghouse applications?

• What type of bag or cartridge do you recommend for a bin vent on a pulverized coal injection system?

• From a single solenoid valve, how many bags in a row can be cleaned?

• What will be the solenoid valve size for a filter having a length of 6.0 meters?

• Could you explain if bag filters could have any type of internal protection to protect the bag from spark dust carried by flue gases in a biomass boiler with tubular air heaters to avoid the installation of a cyclone separator?
