Dioxin & Furan Catalytic Filter Bags
GORE® REMEDIA® Catalytic Filter Bags remove dioxins and furans (<0.1ng/m3), provide dust control and work with existing baghouses in a variety of applications.
Effective, Cost-Efficient Dioxin and Furan Control
GORE® REMEDIA® Filter Bags help you efficiently meet dioxin and furan emissions requirements without the burden of costly new equipment. These bags are specially developed to filter for dioxins and furans from waste incineration, removing it from your gas stream safely and efficiently. The innovative dioxin filter system is safer for the environment and employees, and simpler to use.
Benefits Over Sorbent Injection Systems and Other Dioxin Control Technologies:
Destruction of Gaseous Dioxins & Dust Control
- Our bags use high-performing, state-of-the-art catalysts to assure long life and levels of destruction that in many cases exceed 99 percent.
- The microporous structure of the GORE Membrane filters dust, even submicron particles
Lowest Total Cost of Ownership
- High mechanical strength and durability coupled with a proven long life catalyst, effectively assuring savings well into the future.
- With no dioxin contaminated sorbents to dispose of, GORE REMEDIA Filter Bags minimize the cost of hazardous waste disposal
- No need to purchase new equipment: simply replace your current filters
- No maintenance: Gore's catalytic filter system is completely passive in operation, eliminating any ongoing maintenance demands
Safe for Employees
- With our filter bags, avoiding carbon eliminates the risk of fires and minimizes potential health risks.
GORE REMEDIA Catalytic Filter Bags simultaneously provide dust control and remove dioxins and furans in the following applications:
Waste-to-Energy
- Municipal, Hazardous & Medical Waste Incineration
Metals
- Secondary aluminum processing
Incineration: Municipal, Hazardous & Medical Waste
The GORE REMEDIA Catalytic Filter Bags are installed in some of the world’s largest incinerators to simultaneously provide dust control and remove up to 99% of gaseous dioxin and furan emissions.
- In a variety of installations globally (municipal waste incinerators, hazardous, medical and industrial waste, crematoriums and pyrometallurgical plants) the GORE REMEDIA Catalytic Filter System yielded dioxin emissions at levels far below the standard guideline of 0.1 ng (TEQ)/Nm3.
- Analysis revealed that the concentrations of dioxin in the fly ash using GORE REMEDIA Filter Bags were significantly lower than those achievable using a powder activated carbon (PAC) system.
- Total dioxin and furan emissions to the environment, including release of both gas and solids from the baghouse, were reduced more than 90% compared to PAC systems – a fantastic achievement for our incinerator filter system.
- At facilities operating under good combustion practices - a typical inlet dioxin concentration below 10 ng (TEQ)/Nm3 - the GORE REMEDIA Catalytic Filter System is designed to meet and exceed dioxin regulations.
GORE REMEDIA Filter Bags represent state-of-the-art catalytic filter technology.
- Consist of a GORE Membrane (made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene - ePTFE), laminated to a catalytic filter media – a specialist felt substrate.
- Converts the dioxin and furan emissions, removing them from your gas stream in a highly innovative catalytic purification process.
How GORE REMEDIA Filter Bags Work
- The GORE Membrane captures fine particulate on the surface of the filter.
- As the filter is cleaned, solids are released from the surface and collected in the bottom of the baghouse hopper.
- The gaseous dioxins and furans pass through the membrane into the catalytic filter media. The catalyst instantly reacts with the dioxin and furan molecules to convert them into insignificant amounts of CO2, H2O and HCl.
Combining the principles of surface filtration and catalytic filtration, GORE REMEDIA Filter Bags are a unique dioxin control alternative that works in your existing baghouse to destroy gaseous dioxins and furans to levels far below regulatory limits — safely, economically, and with minimal maintenance.
