E – 1805 Fabric Filters for Air Pollution Control

Fabric filters, commonly called “baghouses”, are used to remove particles from a gas stream. Fabric filters are made of a woven or felted material in the shape of a cylindrical bag or a flat supported envelope. These elements are contained in a housing which has gas inlet and outlet connections, a dust collection hopper, and a cleaning mechanism for periodic removal of the collected dust from the fabric. In operation, dust laden gas flows through the filters, which remove the particles from the gas stream.
This course will give you technical guidance you can apply when designing, specifying and constructing air pollution control systems.
