The Problem For many years QAL has had problems with emissions from conveyor transfer points. The fineness and abrasiveness of the dust evolved provides a problem for conventional bagfilters. Ducting tends to block or wear out quickly. Filter bags abrade or bleed dust. The result is shown in the Before shots above. This creates not only a mess but a workplace safety issue. The Solution By installing our new and innovative Horizontal Bagfilters on the transfer points which have successfully eliminated the fugitive emissions (see above photos). This style of filter does not need any ducting as it contains and deposits the collected dust at the emission source. No more patching ducts or replacing dust handling devices! Additionally, these units offer lower air to cloth ratios (i.e. they contain more filtration area) and lower can velocities than conventional units. At the heart of these units are the revolutionary BHA PulsePleats® with BHA-Tex® technology. This style of filter element offers the finest possible filtration and the lowest operating pressure drops of any filter on the market. The Outcome QAL were so happy with the project execution, results and technology that they wrote an article for their internal magazine "Refining Moments" (view article) that was distributed throughout the works. QAL plans to install many more of these innovative bagfilters in the near future.
