Pulse-jet filtration: An effective way to control industrial pollution Part II: Process characterization and evaluation of filter media

Abstract

The fundamental concept of design and development of the pulse-jet filter have been discussed in Part I of this monograph series [Textile Progress, Vol. 41, No. 4]. For successful running of the industrial pulse-jet filter, fundamentals of the filtration process and operating principle should be well understood. In view of the above, the monograph is intended to develop in-depth understanding of the mechanism and factors governing the filtration process. Modeling and simulation aspect related to filtration process is also included, which is helpful to judge process performance for effective process monitoring, and also to set the process and design parameters at an optimum level. In view of selection and designing of new filter media, a comprehensive examination of various methods of testing and evaluation of filter media is incorporated.
