Anguil - Sticky Particulate Control - Self-Cleaning Ceramic Filters (SCCF)

The SCCF is designed based on exhaust airflow volume, type of contaminant and desired collection efficiency. During operation, the process stream, containing hot or cold particulate laden air, condensable organics or VOCs, is drawn into the Ceramic Filter. The process stream passes over a ceramic matrix selected based on particle size and collection efficiency considerations. The Ceramic Matrix is either periodically or continuously heated by a natural gas burner or by heat from an RTO hot side bypass, where any organics collected on the Ceramic Matrix are volatilized. Any non-organics collected on the Ceramic Matrix are converted to inorganic ash and retained in the unit drop out chamber.

The volatilized organics may then be processed by an integral catalyst module, which can be supplied with the Ceramic Filter System or processed by an independent thermal or catalytic oxidizer. The oxidation of the volatilized organics results in the generation of CO2 and H2O vapor as the products of combustion.

• Self-cleaning function eliminates the need for standard filter systems and the costs, downtime and liability associated with these disposable filtration methods
• Can be located immediately following the process. Reduces fire hazard caused by build-up of flammable material on duct walls
• Oxidizes organic compounds, eliminating odors
• Automatic safety shutdowns prevent equipment damage during upset conditions
• Removes particulate prior to a secondary control device, permitting the use of various oxidizer technologies on processes with particulate laden air streams.

• The SCCF can be cleaned off-line or supplied with the “on-line cleaning option” providing process flexibility and applicability to many different applications
• Integrated into process line
• Exhaust stack extensions
• Heat exchanger and energy recovery modules
