Baghouse Total Control Program

The 5 keys to a successful baghouse control program:

  1. Define the Standards and Intentions of your Baghouse Program.

  2. Maximize bag life. 

  3. Maximize filtering efficiencies. 

  4. Maximize process airflow rates (If required). 

  5. Minimize mechanical downtime and associated costs.

How do we go about building this roadmap to success?

 

Part 1:    Define Standards and Intentions.   

Part 2:    Maximize bag life (outline only) 

Part 3:    Maximize filtering efficiencies (outline only)

Part 4:    Maximize process airflow rates.       

Part 5:    Minimize mechanical downtime and associated costs.      

 

There is also one other major item that is closely related to Part 5. I believe it is so important that I would like to share part of it with you now.

 

A tremendous contributor to a crew's overhaul/site performance in terms of their effectiveness is made, or crushed, based on their "housekeeping" capabilities.

 

Organization is everything. A baghouse site is busy. Dirty bags; tools; new bags; parts; baghouse crews; safety issues; other crews. It is easy to get behind and to lose focus of what the day's goals are.

 

Let everyone know what they are doing and what their main job and secondary job roles are.

 

Keep it simple and safe and create a work flow:

bullet

Tools in one area

bullet

Extension cords and lights out of the way

bullet

Dirty bags, once removed, disposed of as soon as possible.

bullet

Parts to be reused should be cleaned and stacked in one area

bullet

All garbage down from the site and into one area.

bullet

The site should be cleaned-up, prepared and readied for rebagging.

bullet

New replacement parts should be brought up to the job site and prepared for use.

bullet

Once completed and the system is tested, a final sweep of the area for garbage and "loose" tools should be made.

 

I am sure you get the idea. Its like a symphony that looks and sounds right.

 

More time is lost in this one area than in all the others put together.
