Abstract
A process and apparatus for cleaning filter cake from the interior of a baghouse bag. A nozzle through which compressed gas flows is positioned on the interior of a bag such that gas is directed to, and thereby disrupts, the filter cake. The compressed gas flows in the same direction as a gas that is being filtered by the baghouse, thereby avoiding the effects of reverse-flow cleaning.
Claims6
A method for removing filter cake disposed upon an interior of a top inlet (TI) baghouse bag, comprising the steps of:
- (a) flowing a compressed gas upon an interior of said TI baghouse bag;
- and
- (b) contacting said filter cake disposed upon the bag interior such that the filter cake is at least partially dislodged.
An improved top inlet baghouse cleaning mechanism, the improvement comprising a nozzle connected to a compressed gas supply, wherein said nozzle is disposed interior to a top inlet (TI) bag and proximal to said TI bag top, and wherein compressed gas flowed through said nozzle displaces at least a portion of a filter cake disposed upon an interior surface of said TI bag.
