Volume
GC VI Part 1 Fabric
filtration equipment.
In this part, separate
sections cover the principles of fabric filtration,
operation of fabric filters, types of fabric filter,
types of filter bags and end closures, the ancillary
equipment required for both the filter, and the air
and gas supplied to the filter, maintenance and trouble-shooting
and the use of fabric filters for flammable and explosive
dusts.
Volume
GC VI Part 2 State of the science of fabric filtration.
Part 2 details the current
state of the science. It includes fabric filtration
theory, where the fundamental equations of flow through
filter cakes are discussed along with the deviations
from theory. A section on filter cleaning discusses
cake bonding force, shake cleaning, reverse air cleaning
and reverse pulse cleaning. Mechanisms of particle capture
and penetration and the efficiency of fabric filters
is dealt with in another section. The final section
in this part deals with modelling procedures for fabric
filters. It covers both microscale and macroscale models.
Volume
GC VI Part 3 The textile
technology of fabric media.
Part 3 covers in considerable
depth those aspects of textile technology which relate
to the performance of fabric filters. It includes fibre
morphology, and the resistance of fibres to degradation
by both dry and moist heat and chemicals. Tensile and
other mechanical properties are also covered. Information
on the processes for making yarns, fibrous batts, woven
fabrics, felts and other types of fabric are included.
Finally the application and use of fabric finishes is
discussed.
Volume
GC VI Part 4 Selection
and sizing of fabric filter plant.
This part includes information
on the process information required to design and specify
a fabric filter. Advice is also given on the selection
of the appropriate type of filter to use as well as
on the selection of the filter fabric and the filtration
velocity. The evaluation of tenders is also discussed.
Volume
GC VI Part 5 The selection of media for fabric
filtration.
This part includes a comprehensive
guide to the selection of the filter media. It starts
with a selection guide and then goes on to give detailed
information on the various aspects of choosing the correct
media. Such as the choice between non-woven and woven
fabrics, fibre type and weight, weave pattern, surface
finish etc. There is also a section giving details of
filter media evaluation techniques, this covers: density,
the burning test, temperature contraction and melting
point, chemical analysis weight, thickness, permeability
and many others.
