Applications
Used in industries such as manufacturing, mining, cement production, and power generation to control air pollution by removing particulate matter from exhaust streams. These systems are essential for capturing large and fine particles, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and maintaining clean air.
Benefits
These combined systems enhance air quality by efficiently capturing both large and fine particulates, protecting worker health and reducing environmental impact. They support compliance with stringent air quality standards, minimize downtime by preventing equipment fouling, and improve operational efficiency by maintaining cleaner work environments.
Capacities
Air Flow Rates: From 1,000 to over 100,000 cubic feet per minute
Filtration Efficiency: Cyclones have capture efficiencies up to 90%, while baghouses are up to 99.99%.
Dust Load Handling: From a few grams to several kilograms per cubic meter of air
The system operates in two stages. First, the cyclone separator uses centrifugal forces to remove large particulate matter from the air stream. Polluted air enters the cyclone tangentially, causing the air to spin and forcing heavier particles to the outer walls, where they fall into a collection hopper. The partially cleaned air then passes to the baghouse, where it flows through filter bags made of fabric designed to capture fine particulates. As the air flows through the bags, dust is trapped on the surface, and clean air exits through the other side. Periodically, compressed air pulses through the bags to dislodge collected dust, which falls into a hopper for disposal.
