Claims14
A filtration system for removing a particulate material, comprising:
- a housing having an internally formed air stream flow path communicating between an inlet for incoming polluted air containing particulate material and an air outlet for emitting clean filtered air from which the particulate material has been removed;
- a collection system provided in the air stream flow path to collect the particulate material, said collection system including an array of collection elements to which the particulate material adheres when the air stream flow path passes through said collection system;
- a cleaning system provided to clean the collected particulate material from the array of collection elements;
- and
- a removal system for removing the collected particulate material from said housing.
A method for filtering particulate material from an air stream comprising:
- passing an incoming air stream containing particulate material along a flow path within a housing;
- collecting the particulate material from the air stream in a collection system, whereby particulate material adheres to a plurality of collection elements when the air stream passes through the collection system;
- cleaning the collected particulate material from the plurality of collection elements;
- emitting clean filtered air from which the particulate material has been removed;
- and
- removing the collected particulate material from the housing.
