Rail Unloading Collector Handling Coke

Application

Rail unloading collector handling coke.

Optimization Potential

An aluminum plant was converting to a much finer coke-particle size for use in the aluminum smelting process. Knowing that new, smaller coke particles would either pass through or blind existing conventional polyester felt bags (especially during the hot summer months), the company had to install more efficient filter bags.

Solution

GORE® membrane/heavy duty polyester felt filter bags were installed into the coke handling collector.

Results

GORE® membrane/heavy duty polyester felt filter bags were installed. Emission levels were met and exceeded, and no blinding occurred. The bags have been operating successfully for more than three years.
