Bag Filter Dust Collector Design

No Parameter Design Details

1 Stack design  The stack does not have rain cap, so it has drain line at the
bottom of the stack to drain the rainwater.
 The sampling point location is 5D away from the nearest
disturbance, whereas D is the diameter of the chimney.
2 Pulse jet cleaning system  There are total of 48 filter bags inside the filter housing. Each
row has 8 filter bags so total there are 6 rows.
 Each row has one blow pipe to transport the compressed air to
clean the filter bags.
 The On-time and Off-time can be found and set from
electronic timer controller.
3 Filter bag  The filter bag used is polyester, which is good for abrasiveness.
 However, it is only fair for both alkaline and acid. We might
need to change the filter bag very frequently.
4 Differential pressure gauge  When dust collector system is running, the differential
pressure gauge showed 0.1 - 0.15kPa, which is very low and
out of operating range from DOE standards (0.5 - 1.5kPa)

Proposal

No Parameters Details Instruments Remarks

1 Temperature measurement There is no temperature measurement for incoming Digital thermometer Temperature measurement is
flow into dust collector. part of the daily monitoring
parameter as required by DOE
standards.
2 Air flow rate measurement
3 Compressed air pressure
measurement
There is no air flow rate measurement for outgoing
flow from dust collector.
The compressed air pressure gauge is hard to read
because it located at high position.
Digital pitot tube Air flow rate measurement is
part of the daily monitoring
parameter as required by DOE
standards.
- Compressed air pressure
measurement is part of the
daily monitoring parameter as
required by DOE standards.
Have to use stairs to take the
reading.
 4 Hopper Discharge
The current waste bag is not jumbo bag.
- As mentioned in DOE written
notification, the discharge is
considered as scheduled waste
and should put inside jumbo
bag.

Notes:

 Written notification and written declaration have been submitted to DOE.

 Chimney stack emission test has to outsource for third party to carry out. For new plant, the test has to be completed after the plant start running
for 3-4 months. After that, the test needs to carry out once every year.
