Case #3:     Poor filter bag construction

A large consumer products producer was experiencing constant emissions with a heavily used process baghouse. The company contracted out the bag supply and installation to a single source in return for a 6-month performance guarantee.

The media used had a special coating for the capturing of very fine particulate.

After 3-1/2 months, product is once again appearing in the clean side of the system. The cuff fabric that seals the bag in the baghouse floor (cell plate) was a very porous knit fabric. It basically leaked like a sieve.

The filter bag has failed not because of the fabric used, but because of a poor choice in construction.

The result is that a potential “welcomed” solution is heading towards being a nightmare for the baghouse owner because the supplier refused to deal with the problem.

This situation was complicated by a few cardinal housekeeping rules not observed during the bag change.

The single most valuable benefit from my point of view that I can pass on to you is this:

There are procedures and methods in the fabric making, bag make-up and during the filterbag installation that are simple and have to be adhered to. At this point in time they are immutable. Deviations from rules cost somebody time, effort and money.

 My whole life focus is to improve the day-to-day life of each baghouse owner or user and my financial survival depends on it; yet, with all the information I have at hand, some decisions are still difficult to make. My question now becomes “how can an end user deal with so many unknowns and be sure they have made the right choices?

How?

Guarantees and warranties are wonderful, but they are always arguable once a problem occurs on your side of the playing field.
