Off Gas Clean-Up With Ceramic Filter Elements: Treating Pollutants Of Glass Furnace Off Gases

Low density ceramic filer elements is an emerging technology for glass furnace off-gas clean-up. The elements are very efficient & work well in combination with a dry scrubbing agent for acid gas removal, while enabling the filtration temperate to be maintained at a suitable level for catalytic treatment of nitrous oxide. Cerfail TopKat is a catalytic ceramic filter element from Madison Filter which offers deNOx functionality as well as efficient particulate & acid gas removal. As well as major environmental performance benefits, the technology also offers the possibility of substantial savings in both money & space utilisation, as explained in this article.
