Method for removal of soot, ash and metals or metal compounds, together with removal of NOx and SOx being present in process off-gasses or engine exhaust gasses.

The objective of this invention is to provide a filter module for coating equipment that can improve the efficiency in removing coating-material mist and preventing the outflow of such coating-material mist to the outside. The filter module of this invention is made of a flammable material and includes an outer box, an eliminator and a baffle plate. Of the outer box, the air A2 containing the coating-material mist flows into the outer box from the outer-box inlet and is discharged from the outer-box outlet. The eliminator is formed by arranging zigzag-shaped eliminator elements in parallel to separate the coating-material mist from the air A2. The baffle plate is formed by arranging baffle-plate elements having an inclined surface for guiding the air A2 in parallel into the inflow-side space S2 of the eliminator, and guides the air A2 that has been introduced from the outer-box inlet to the inflow-side space S2.

Described are high pressure filter housings and apparatuses that are useful to contain a fluid under high pressure, with example housings including first and second pieces having complimentary tapered joint surfaces that can form a fluid-tight seal without a gasket located between the surfaces, and methods of making and using the high pressure filter apparatuses.

Described are high pressure filter apparatuses that include first and second pieces having a welded seam along a circumference of the body, and a sleeve placed around and surrounding the welded seam.

A filtration system that includes a filter housing, a plurality of elongated bag filters disposed in the filter housing, and a plurality of cylindrical pleated filters disposed in the filter housing. The plurality of elongated bag filters and the plurality of cylindrical pleated filters are arranged so as to filter a gas passing through the filter housing. Additionally, the average length of the plurality of elongated bag filters is at least twice the average length of the plurality of cylindrical pleated filters.

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine including at least one exhaust-gas aftertreatment component having an electric heating element, the electric heating element heating the exhaust-gas aftertreatment component and the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust-gas aftertreatment component, the electric heating element briefly or permanently being acted upon by a heating current, a gas, in particular fresh air and/or exhaust gas, flowing downstream through the exhaust-gas path. In the method, a first temperature upstream from the at least one exhaust-gas aftertreatment component is ascertained, a second temperature downstream from the exhaust-gas aftertreatment component is ascertained, and the exhaust-gas mass flow of the internal combustion engine is ascertained as a function of a first temperature difference between the first and the second temperature and a heating power of the electric heating element, and the internal combustion engine is controlled as a function of the exhaust-gas mass flow.

A method and associated system for producing refined hydrocarbons from waste plastics. The method and system provide for: pretreating waste plastics; producing pyrolysis gas by introducing the waste plastics pretreated in the pretreatment process into a pyrolysis reactor; producing in a lightening process pyrolysis oil by introducing the pyrolysis gas into a hot filter; and a coking process of coking the pyrolysis oil, wherein a liquid condensed in the hot filter is re-introduced into the pyrolysis reactor. The system produces refined hydrocarbons from the waste plastics.

A high efficiency air filter assembly (100) for high temperature applications comprising: a filter core (102) including a unitary sheet of air-permeable filter media folded in accordion fashion to form a plurality of side-by-side pleats with zig-zag edges on two opposite sides and flat panels on the other two sides, and a spacer member between opposing walls of successive pleats, a box-like metal frame (108) enclosing said filter core on four sides in air tight engagement to define an air flow opening extending between upstream and downstream sides of said assembly, wherein the zig-zag edges of the unitary sheet of air-permeable filter media are sealingly embedded in a solid inorganic sealant composition (118) in the frame, and wherein the unitary sheet of air-permeable filter media preferably consists of a binder-free glass or mineral fiber filter media. Use of the high efficiency air filter assembly in high temperature applications wherein the filter assembly is repeatedly or continuously heated to a temperature in the range of 200-500? C.

To provide a high-temperature filter having a seal to maintain filtering properties and generating less dust at a high temperature. The high-temperature filter (1) comprises a filtering medium (2) made of glass fibers, which is folded in a zigzag pattern; a separator (4) that is folded in a wave shape and inserted into gaps of the filtering medium; a frame (6) made of stainless steel that houses the filtering medium and the separator; and end seals (8) made of ceramic that is applied to the frame and solidified after an end of the filtering medium is immersed thereinto, which ceramic is modified to have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is the same as that of the stainless steel. The separator is preferably made of the glass fibers used for the filtering medium. A spacer (14) may be provided on the surface of the filtering medium instead of the separator.
