Dry Particle Filtration

Particle capture and release from fibrous dry filter elements

This project is led by Dr S Zigan and Dr H Belaidi

Researcher: Richard Farnish

This research serves to examine the effects of pleat form on cyclic pulse jet cleaning efficiency for industrial scale filter candles. A test rig has been constructed to support the assessment of flat surface filter pressure drop development for cyclic loading and pulse cleaning.  The rig also has the capability to evaluate the effect of pleat geometry on capture and release of particulate material.
