Abstract :
The successful operation of a cement plant and integration of the purchase of pollution control equipment while still maintaining clean air requirements has become a real challenge to the production sector. Fabric selection for fabric filter dust collectors is a vital factor in the air pollution control equipment decision that must be made on a location by location basis. Fabric selection cannot be generalized from baghouse to baghouse. Filter bags/elements represent a major investment as well as a highly technical decision that warrants extensive evaluation. After choosing the correct filter bags/elements, it is equally important to protect them in order to keep production at maximum capacity
