Further work on pulse-jet fabric filtration modeling

Further results of the performance of pulse-jet fabric filtration based on a recently developed model were presented. These results include filtrate rates, the built-up of particle cakes over filter surfaces and their coverage and the extent of filter cleaning from cycle to cycle until a steady state is reached. In addition, a simplified procedure of calculating the steady state filter performance was proposed. The applicability and limitations of the simplified procedure were established by comparing the results from the simplified procedure with those based on the more complete model.
