General
This document provides instructions for the installation of the HRC Fabric Filter (FF) for Java project.
All the descriptions provided are referred to one module of one single FF; the same sequence can be used for
the installation of the two modules of the FF for one unit, and repeated for the second unit.
Phases
The installation of the FF is divided into phases: the phases of pre-assembly and erection and their sequence as
explained in this document can be addressed by the site constructor to match the site needs and equipment
used.
The concept of the erection sequence and of the construction methods described in the following are intended
to maximize the amount of pre-assembly operations that can be carried out on the ground.
Joints of the FF
All joints of the casing and of the hoppers must be seal welded and gas tight. Welding are required to be gas
tight on at least one side of each junction; special attention must be paid to the seal weld of the bag plates and
the manifold partition together and to the walls; controls of the sealing are recommended after or during the
execution of each pre-assembly and erection phase.
Installation of equipment
If equipment are installed on the ground below the casing before construction is complete, they should be
protected from overhead danger.
Detailed instructions for the installation of the equipment (including dampers and cleaning mechanism) are
provided by the supplier of that equipment.
Erection tolerances
Erection tolerances will be according to EN1090-2, unless otherwise specified on drawings.
In this document, the applicable figures are specified.
Phases
1.2 Sequence
1. Erection of the columns, beams and bracing
2. Leveling plumb and square of the columns and grouting
3. Installation of the internal walkways and gratings and optionally the handrails.
The installation of the platforms at el. +4 m, access ladders and handrails is not recommended until the
end of the installation of the hoppers is complete because they could be damaged during the erection
of the hoppers: we recommend to install them after the end of the installation of the hoppers.
For a better understanding of the sequence of the following phases, we suggest to refer to the drawing A-
HDD-M-BVL-1003.
2.1 General
The Hopper Frames / Lower Compartment walls are supplied in 26 prefabricated parts for each module of FF
that should be pre-assembled on the ground in the largest manageable pieces.
These sections will be joined together when placed on the support structure.
The internal strut & tie elements and baffles shall not be pre-installed in this phase; only provisional struts and
ties can be used if necessary to stabilize and keep in square, and they shall be dismantled after the end of this
phase.
The structural joints between the pre-fabricated parts are the welds; bolts are used to pre-joint and position
parts before welding.
2.3 Sequence
1. Pre-assemble on ground the Hopper Frames/ Lower Compartment Walls
2. Position and weld the parts of the sliding plates on the top plates of the support structure columns;
keep the surface of the sliding plate protected from damages, scratches and dust until the hopper
columns are in place.
Ensure the slide plates are as per detail drawings C1415661-111-302-0001 and A-HDD-M-BVL-2023.
3. Position and secure with spot welds the parts of the sliding plates on the foot-plates of the Hopper
Frame / Lower Compartment Wall columns. Ensure the slide plates are as per detail drawings
C1415661-111-302-0001 and A-HDD-M-BVL-2023.
4. Lift and place above the support structure columns’ plates the Hopper Frames / Lower Compartment
Walls modules, starting from the center of the FF with the one modulus connected to the fix point.
5. Lift and place the other Hopper Frames / Lower Compartment Walls and connect them to the already
installed Hopper Frames / Lower Compartment Walls modules.
7. The weld of the sliding plates to the FF footplates will be completed as soon as the installation of the
hoppers is finished and the flange at the interface with FF’s walls levelled, at the end of the next Phase.
3 Phase 3: hoppers
3.1 General
Each one of the 12 hoppers are supplied in 5 parts, 4 panels and 1 prefabricated cone.
The Hopper Frames / Lower Compartment walls are supplied in 26 prefabricated parts for each module of FF
that should be pre-assembled on the ground in largest manageable pieces.
These sections will be joined together when placed on the support structure.
The internal strut & tie elements and baffles shall not be pre-installed in this phase; only provisional struts and
ties can be used, and they shall be dismantled after the end of this phase.
The hoppers must be pre-assembled on ground, including the internal strut & tie elements and the accessories
(manhole, nozzles etc.), and each pyramid is dropped inside the hopper frames / Lower Compartment Walls.
The joints between the pre-fabricated parts are structurally connected by welds; bolts are used to pre-joint and
position them before welding; the horizontal joints have erection bolts as well.
Note:
The alignment of the hopper discharge flange is to be checked prior to welding hopper in place.
f) Horizontal baffles
4.1 General
This phase includes the body of the FF, which is composed by the cells (1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b), the manifold (10, 11,
12) and the inlet elbow duct (9) connecting the manifold to the hoppers.
Each cell has 4 walls and each wall is supplied in 3 panels 11.45 m high and 2.3 to 2.6 m wide.
Adjacent cells have a common wall; each cell includes also the bags-plate and the thermal shields on the cell
wall (5b) adjacent to the manifold.
Panels 1b to 5b are the cells walls placed above the flange on the top of the hopper frame 1a to 5a.
Bottom (10), partition (11) and roof (12) panels make the manifold.
The elbow ducts (9) are manufactured in two parts that shall be site assembled on ground.
Damper valves shall be install on the inlet flange (5a) before connecting the elbow ducts to the manifold
bottom (10).
The joints between the pre-fabricated parts are structurally connected by welds; bolts are used to pre-joint and
position them before welding; the horizontal joints have erection bolts as well.
Cell walls will be first pre-assembled on ground. After, the cells or part of the cells will be prefabricated on
ground and installed as explained in the next clause.
Each part shall be pre-assembled with bolts, accurately checked for level and square and then welded.
Temporary ties and struts shall be used to keep stable and square each pre-assembled cell of part of cell.
The bag plates can be installed after one complete cell is pre-assembled and before it is in place, or after one
cell is in place. It is recommended to install the bag plates just after the square of the cell has been checked,
whether it is pre-assembled or in place. The bag plate can be either installed in two pieces of or in one
preassembled piece.
