Waste solvent incinerator Kentucky. MikroPul collector off waste-heat boiler. Pulse-jet cleaning (240 bags).
High-emissions, short-bag-life Huyck fiberglass felt was bleeding through, contaminating the fan and scrubber after the baghouse. DP maximum was eight inches. A/C = 5.34/1. Frequent shut downs to clean fan and scrubber resulted in HCl attack to bags and baghouse steel. Huyck bags fell apart (deneedled) after only six months. Baghouse steel was being replaced every three years. Maintenance costs were excessive.
Installed GORE® membrane/GORE® fabric filter bags to decrease emission related down time and dewpoint excursions and increase bag life.
Drastically reduced emissions virtually eliminated emission-related down times and dewpoints. Bags were installed on Sept. 9, 1982 and were removed in April 1984. Bags were guaranteed for 13 months, but were used for 19 months. Pressure drop 4.5". Baghouse steel is expected to last at least twice as long. A permanent engineer was no longer needed to constantly monitor the system and was assigned to another area. The acting foreman now does only periodic system checks.
