Bag filter systems as replacement for wet scrubbers
Bag filter systems as replacement for wet scrubbers
As a rule wet-scrubbing comes into operation in the production of glass wool during various processes. Münstermann has developed an innovative concept as a substitute for wet-scrubbing with a dry de-dusting system using bag filters. As a result there are a number of advantages.
Details of use
After the curing process the glass wool mats are cut to size. The remaining lengths including the dust from cutting are vacuumed away by the Münstermann filter system. The image shows the dedusting unit in the customer's production hall. It contains a special re-separation (chains) for the glass wool particles before the air is filtered.
Advantages of dedusting with bag filter systems
- The loss of pressure (energy loss) when using the filter plant is less than when employing wet-scrubbing
- With wet-scrubbing the residual dust and harmful substances in the waste water have to be specially disposed of
- When using the new de-dusting method the deposited dust can be returned to the product
- When using filter systems the surrounding peripheral equipment is not as complex as with wet-scrubbing and no sedimentation tank will therefore be required.
