PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

Successful Applications in the Chemicals Industry

Application

Bottle-grade resin dryer vent baghouse.

Optimization Potential

Lower dryer rate caused by high baghouse DP. Conventional filter bags required changeout at least every month to ensure adequate production rates.

Solution

Installed GORE® membrane/polyester felt filter bags.

Results

Higher, more consistent airflow through the system has allowed increased production. Bag life exceeds one year.
