TP – 1141 An Introduction to Fabric Filters for Air Pollution Control For Professional Engineers

Description

Fabric filters are used to remove particles from a gas stream. Fabric filters are made of a woven or felted material in the shape of a cylindrical bag or a flat supported envelope. These elements are contained in a housing which has gas inlet and outlet connections, a dust collection hopper, and a cleaning mechanism for periodic removal of the collected dust from the fabric. In operation, dust laden gas flows through the filters, which remove the particles from the gas stream.
