A filtration system housing is provided for supporting filtration system components. The filtration system is configured to remove particulates from air. The housing comprises a plurality of walls defining a chamber for receiving pressurized air. The housing additionally comprises a reinforcing member at least partially surrounding said walls. At least one of the walls is contoured to include a spatial curvature extending along a portion of the at least one wall.

A granule reactor (10), an apparatus comprising said reactor and a method implemented by said apparatus are described for treating polluting agents present in industrial gases, particularly but not only, when such gases comprise NO.sub.x, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons and similar pollutants. The pellet reactor is adapted to be used in the treatment of industrial gases, capable of treating industrial gases and removing particulate from said gases while maintaining a constant efficiency. Moreover, a method of treating the polluting agents present in industrial gases by means of said pellet reactor, and a pellet reactor adapted to implement said method of treatment are described.

A dust collector including a housing including an upper wall, at least one housing wall defining an inlet, and the upper wall or the housing wall defining an outlet opposite the inlet, the inlet and the outlet at a same height; a separating plate diagonally connected to the housing above the inlet and below the outlet and extending downward from the inlet, the separating plate defines at least two substantially parallel rows of staggered apertures, an entrance duct section fluidly connected to the housing and including a duct top surface oriented diagonally upward from the housing and away from the at least one housing wall; and a plurality of vertically extending filters connected to and extending below the separating plate, a center line of the inlet extending above a top portion of the filters, each of the filters fluidly communicating with a corresponding one of the first and second apertures.

A filter tube for high temperature gas-solid separation is provided that has a first cylinder and a second cylinder coaxially nested in the first cylinder with the first cylinder arranged so that an opening thereof faces upward, a first connection flange provided at a periphery of the opening of the first cylinder, and a circular through-hole provided at a bottom of the first cylinder. The second cylinder is nested in the first cylinder so that an opening of the second cylinder faces downward. The second cylinder has an end at an opening thereof that is hermetically connected to the circular through-hole of the first cylinder. The second cylinder has a bottom, and the bottom of the second cylinder and the opening of the first cylinder are at the same horizontal level. An annular gas passage is formed between the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

Included herein are filtration systems that can proactively pulse clean filter elements in response to anticipated changes, such as anticipated changes in filtration performance or anticipated changes in filtration system demand. In an embodiment, a filtration system is included having a filter element mount for a filter element, a compressed gas supply, and a valve, wherein opening the valve results in a pulse of gas directed at the filter element. A control circuit can control the valve. A communications circuit can receive data related to an anticipated change, such as data regarding an anticipated change in filtration performance and/or data regarding an anticipated change in filtration system demand. The control circuit can execute operations based on the anticipated change data such as adjusting a pressure drop threshold and initiating proactively opening the valve in the absence of a pressure drop threshold being crossed. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Filter systems and methods described herein include one or more spacer elements positioned in the dirty air chamber along with the filter elements attached to the spacer elements. The dirty air inlet delivers a dirty air stream into the dirty air chamber along a dirty air flow axis.

An automatic filter cleaning system e.g for cleaning a filter in a vacuum cleaner. The cleaning system has an electrical motor that drives/rotates, directly/indirectly, a piston which directly/indirectly opens a filter cleaning valve. The filter cleaning valve may open for a filter cleaning back flow air stream that thus cleans the filter. The piston is spring loaded and a piston guide ensures that the energy accumulated in the spring and piston is released during the rotation of the piston, thereby shortly opening the filter cleaning valve.

A cyclonic dust filter device comprises a trunk, at least one first retaining wall, and at least one second retaining wall. The trunk comprises a channel, an air inlet end and an air outlet end disposed at two ends of the channel, and a dust filter hole communicating with the channel. The first and second retaining walls are respectively disposed correspondingly to the dust filter hole. When a dust-containing airflow to-be-filtered enters the channel from the air inlet end, the dust-containing airflow forms a centrifugal airflow that contains the dust and is thrown out of the channel at a position of the dust filter hole. The first and second retaining walls are respectively disposed on a traveling path of the centrifugal airflow, so that the centrifugal airflow sequentially strikes the first and second retaining walls to change the traveling direction and then discharges dust free clean air.

Systems and methods for automatic control of a baghouse fabric filter system as a single unit to maintain a consistent pressure drop are disclosed. The fabric filter system may be a pulse jet cleaning system, and a controller may be provided to receive inputs from pressure sensors and other components and to control activation of pulse pipes for cleaning filter bags. The controller may adjust parameters including the dwell time between pulses, the duration of each pulse, and the pulse air pressure. The controller may further optimize these parameters to provide the minimum cleaning necessary per pulse to achieve the consistent differential pressure. By continuously adjusting the parameters, the system maintains the maximum amount of filter cake on the bags to promote optimal emissions control performance.

A general ventilation and air filtration system includes an air filtration control unit that monitors and controls an air flow through an air filter and maintains the air flow at a target velocity set point. The target velocity set point is maintained by monitoring and regulating the power of a motor powering a blower that generates an air flow through the air filtration system and through the air filter. By regulating the air flow and maintaining it in the target set point, power consumption and air filter life are significantly improved.
