OVERVIEW
Cement plants are struggling to keep costs down while adhering to increasingly stringent emission regulations such as the Cement MACT rule which specify PM limits of 0.07 lb/ton of clinker for exiting plants and 0.02 lb/ton of clinker under the New Source Performance Standards for new plants. Meeting these stringent emissions limits requires a thorough consideration of filter media options for plants with baghouses. Factors such as filter bag lifetime, PM removal efficiency, and reducing downtime and maintenance costs all need to be considered in selecting baghouse filter media best suited for each plant’s operating conditions. Further, the ever-increasing demand for higher cement quality is a challenge for the grinding system and the high amount of fine dust requires a highly effective filter media.
