Maximum recommended dust moisture for Dust collectors with fabric filters
Maximum recommended dust moisture for Dust collectors with fabric filters
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I am selecting a dust collector which will filter zinc particles coming from a leaching process. Zinc comes with 5% weight-liquid. I know for a fact that this percentage is well above the 1% recommended for dust collectors/fabric filter. My problem is that I have not found a single reference book to support this. Do you guys where I can find a reliable source?
regards,
Armando

If you are having problems with agglomeration on the bag face, can you shorten the duration between bag cleanings?

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

The moisture I am having problems to deal with comes from the dust, not from the ambient air nor moisture from compressed air (is has a drier installed). The bag house has a reverse pulse jet cleaning system. We are at the moment conducting trials to determine the optimum time between cleanings. Are there any recommendations you can provide me to help dealing with the moisturized dust?

If the dust has as much moisture as you say it does, then look at cyclone systems for wet sawdust. Unfortunately the only way you are going to know if the agglomerated dust will fall off the bag when the pulse operates is by test, or prior experience, check with your bag-house maker on this. You may have better luck with Teflon coated bags http://www.baghouse.com/products/dust-collector-fi... .
Either that or consider a wet scrubber similar to the one suggested by Big tom Hanks.
You may also consider putting a cyclone upstream of the bag house, so that the dust load collected by the bag is much lower in volume.
