Burst filter bag monitoring
Burst filter bag monitoring
(OP)
We have a number of bag filters around our site that can sometimes burst giving emmissions out to the environment. I wondering if anyone knows of a reletivley low cost solution to detecting a burst quickly. The products used are mostly cornflour and maize dust. We have tried detecting the drop in differential pressure but there doesnt seem to be any change in pressure when a bag bursts due to the size of tear being quite small.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Not knowing any info about your filter, the local rep should be able to contact the factory and define/suggest a different material for the bag. Are you currently using nylon that can tear easily??

Alternatively the "dP" of the unit may be of use for monitoring.
