Successful Applications for BHA-Tex
®


At TAPC, we believe it is our responsibility to understand the processes within your industry. That way we can help you make sure your air pollution control and process collection equipment operate effectively and efficiently.

We will work with you to determine if BHA-TEX is the right solution for your application and the problems it is experiencing. This determination can only be made after a careful evaluation and analysis of the baghouse system and operation.

Whether you are looking for improved dustcake release, greater airflow, increased filtration efficiency, or easy installation, BHA has the best products to address your concerns. Our industry experts can help you select the best solution for your application.


Cement and Rock Dust

The constant push for increased productivity is a concern that cement plants face worldwide. BHA-TEX is the answer for those collectors where the collected product is creating a heavy dustcake that robs the process of needed air. The membrane provides a non-stick, high efficiency, high airflow solution that addresses these concerns. Similar problems exist in the Lime and Lightweight Aggregate industries.

For collectors venting:

  • Kiln
  • By-pass
  • Dock Unload
  • Dryer
  • Clinker Cooler
  • Coal Mill
  • Finish Mill
  • High Efficiency Separator

Metals

Ongoing changes in regulations and increasing environmental awareness require the metals industry to keep abreast of the best available emissions control technologies. Some plants can be considered “major” emissions sources, as they generate a large volume of dust containing heavy metals, lead, and mercury dust. BHA-TEX can be the emissions solution for these industries:

  • Steel
  • Ferro Alloy
  • Foundry
  • Lead Smelters
  • Battery Manufacturers
  • Secondary Zinc Smelter

Combustion Processes

Common problems throughout this industry include fine particulate, upset process conditions, and emissions. Regulations governing permitting of new and existing plants that burn alternative fuels and incinerate hazardous wastes are becoming more stringent. BHA-TEX has been used successfully by:

  • Waste to Energy Plants
  • Co-Generation Facilities
  • Incinerators
  • Soil Remediation Plants
  • Utility Boilers

Chemical

BHA-TEX can solve problems that often come with an increased demand for higher production rates, higher quality products, lower emissions, and reduced product loss. BHA-TEX has been successful in improving collectors in the manufacturing of:

  • Soaps
  • Detergents
  • Herbicides/Pesticides
  • Fertilizers

Paint / Pigments

These manufacturers create one of the most difficult dust particles to collect. The dust contains a high volume of submicron size particles. BHA-TEX membrane provides 99.99+% efficiency for the collection of fine particulate, such as:

  • Carbon Black
  • Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)
  • Toner
  • Cosmetics

Plastics / Spray Dryers

Spray drying is an integral process in the manufacture of plastics. These systems experience unique problems and can experience heavy dust buildup. The smooth surface of BHA-TEX is ideal for process collection in plants producing:

  • PVC
  • Polystyrene
  • Polypropylene
  • Polyethylene
  • Polyester

Food / Pharmaceutical

These industries frequently deal with sticky dust. Food grade products must also be used, requiring adherence to strict guidelines. The USDA has approved BHA-TEX for “direct contact components.” BHA-TEX is frequently used in the processing, drying, and conveying of the following:

  • Sugar
  • Food Additives
  • Dried Milk & Eggs
  • Pill Coatings
  • Protein
