System for removing particulate matter from biomass combustion exhaust gas comprising gas cyclones and baghouses

A system for removing particulate matter from exhaust gas generated by combustion of biomass comprising:

• a frame arranged for resting on a support surface, the frame extending longitudinally between first and second ends and laterally between first and second sides;
• an inlet for receiving a flow of the exhaust gas;
• a first particle separation stage supported on the frame and comprising a plurality of substantially vertically oriented gas cyclones each configured to form a vortex to separate from the flow of the exhaust gas the particulate matter exceeding a first prescribed threshold size;
• the gas cyclones of the first particle separation stage being in parallel fluidic communication with the inlet, the gas cyclones being arranged one beside the other in a generally laterally extending row across the frame;
• a second particle separation stage supported on the frame and in fluidic communication with the first particle separation stage so as to receive the flow of the exhaust gas with the particulate matter exceeding the first prescribed threshold size removed therefrom;
• the second particle separation stage comprising a plurality of baghouses each including a housing and a plurality of bag filters suspended therein, each baghouse being arranged to separate from the flow of the exhaust gas the particulate matter exceeding a second prescribed threshold size which is smaller than the first prescribed threshold size;
• the baghouses of the second particle separation stage being in series fluidic communication with one another, the baghouses being arranged one beside the other in a generally longitudinally extending row across the frame;
• and
• an outlet in fluidic communication with the second particle separate stage for discharging the flow of the exhaust gas with the particulate matter exceeding the second prescribed threshold size removed therefrom.
