Filtration System Handles Hot Gases, Fine Particulates
Tri-Mer Corp., a developer of advanced
technologies for the control of VOCs, fine
particulate and industrial gases, has
introduced UltraTemp Filtration, a hot gas
filtration system that filters fine particulate
to extremely low levels. The heart of
the system is a new generation of ceramic
filters. Filters used in the UltraTemp
Filtration system are manufactured from
low-density ceramic fibers that provide
exceptionally high resistance to thermal
shock. This makes the filters very ductile
and resistant to crack formation. The
unique composition of the ceramic fibers
give the UltraTemp filters an exceptional
ability to capture fine particulates at the
fiber surface, without blinding. The
UltraTemp Filtration system provides optimal
filtration for gases between 400°F
and 1,000°F, and in most cases can be
applied to hot gas streams up to a maximum
operating temperature of 1,650°F.
Typical filtration results are 0.001
grain/dscf (2 mg/Nm3); many results are a
fraction of this typical value. Possible
applications include metal smelting, mineral
processing and chemical production.
The system features an option for dry
injection of calcium or sodium-based sorbents
for the capture of acid gases.
