Particulate filtration device

A particulate filtration system for receiving particulate laden gas and separating particulate from such particulate laden gas to produce a cleaned gas, comprising:

• a vessel housing including an entry housing section and a main vessel section, said entry housing section having an inlet adapted to receive particulate laden gas and a cleaned gas outlet and said main vessel section having a particulate vessel outlet;
• particulate laden gas transfer means mounted substantially in said main vessel section for transferring particulate laden gas from said entry section into said main vessel section, said particulate laden gas transfer means including a generally cylindrical transfer structure positioned substantially in said main vessel section, and mount means for mounting said generally cylindrical transfer structure within said main vessel section depending from and in fluid communication with said entry housing section for receiving particulate laden gas flowing into said entry housing section;
• a separator assembly positioned in said main vessel section and including a plurality of separator units for separating received particulate laden gas into particulate and cleaned gas, each separator unit including an inlet adapted to receive particulate laden gas and a particulate outlet and a cleaned gas outlet;
• cleaned gas transfer means including a generally cylindrical internal housing member;
• internal mount means mounting said internal housing member in said entry housing section and in said main vessel section for receiving cleaned gas from said cleaned gas outlets of said separator units and directing said cleaned gas outwardly of said cleaned gas outlet of said entry housing section;
• said internal housing member being positioned in said main vessel section substantially inwardly of said separator units and said generally cylindrical transfer structure;
• said generally cylindrical transfer structure and said internal housing member cooperating to provide separator support means for mounting said separator units in a circumferential, vertically stacked arrangement with the inlets of said separator units being in fluid communication with said particulate laden gas transfer means and the cleaned gas outlets of said separator units being in fluid communication with said internal housing member;
• and,
• particulate transfer means mounted in said main vessel section for transferring particulate from said particulate outlets of said separator units to said main vessel section particulate outlet.
