24/7 Support
We answer your baghouse and dust collection filter needs. We are here to offer support for your BHA filters 24/7. Call us at +1 (800) 821-2222 or +1 (913) 374-3300. We are here to help.
Outages
We help ensure your next outage is a success:
- You will work with a dedicated, knowledgeable project manager for your specific job
- Our service crews can handle installations or full change outs
- We also offer technical advisors to oversee local crews, troubleshooting, and inspections
Only one purchase order is required to have your baghouse completely refurbished, and having one company responsible for all aspects of the change out reduces the hassle of coordinating bags and crews.
System Inspection Programs
Our inspection programs include Findings and recommendations (F&R) and Detailed Technical Inspection (DTI). Two thorough inspection programs focused on specific areas of your baghouse system. In addition, our Strategic Technical Evaluation Program (STEP), is a complete ventilation system analysis.
Advantages and Benefits of a STEP Audit:
- Provides overview and analysis of existing system
- Identifies problem areas of the ventilation equipment
- Calculations for airflows and duct sizing
- Recommendations for repair or design changes
- Increases planning accuracy
- Recommendations for potential increased production
- Recommendations for decreasing emissions and increasing system efficiency
Filter Bag Testing Services
If the filter is representative of the filters in your collector, it can be beneficial in assessing performance and mitigating baghouse issues. However, the filter evaluation cannot absolutely determine filter life but can give basic knowledge of where in the life cycle the filters are located.
Standard filter analysis
- Visual Inspection: Includes images of filter conditions including failures, wear patterns, and any anomalies observed.
- Analytical Testing per ASTM Guidelines: Air Permeability, Mullen Burst/Strength Testing, and Unit Weight. Additional testing, if applicable, can include Mechanical Testing – Tensile/Elongation, Digital Scanning Calorimetry, MIT Flex Cycle, and Loss On Ignition.
- ePTFE Membrane Adhesion Test: Microscopic Analysis is performed to identify the Level of Dust Penetration, Potential Fiber Degradation, and ePTFE Membrane Condition.
Custom analysis is also available, and we will evaluate filter performance trend analysis over time
Filter Installs and Refurbishments
Our crews put safety first, meet outage timelines, and ensure a leak-free installation on all filters for pulse-jet, reverse air, shaker, and other baghouses and collectors.
Only one purchase order is required to have your baghouse wholly refurbished, and having one company responsible for all aspects of the change out reduces the hassle of coordinating bags and crews. We are here to help ensure your dust collection is successful. Let us know how we can help you.
Start Up Services
Regardless of the start-up process, we can help properly bring the filters online through multiple or single-compartment baghouses with any filter media. Cement, power, foundry, or any other industry, let us assist with the experience we have gained through the years.
Baghouse startup procedures will vary from application to application and different types of baghouses. We can help you get off to a great start with our expertise. For conventional filtration medias, the importance of the dust cake as the primary mode of filtration is paramount. Other critical areas must be monitored for hot gas applications, mainly if multiple or single-compartment units exist. Start-up services for combustion processes have different considerations during this process. Contact us to discuss your next project.
Conversions and Rebuilds
Changing your baghouse design can dramatically improve its operation and the operation of the entire production line. Updating from a reversed air or shaker to a pulse jet can increase airflow, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs. It can also save the power required for the ID fan, reducing electrical costs.
Baghouse inspections from experienced, well-informed experts are vital to ensuring your investment in your system will achieve your business objectives.
Prior to making recommendations for a baghouse conversion or rebuild a proper inspection that analyzes all aspects of the baghouse is a must. Every aspect, from the timeframe the baghouse went online to the layout, design volume, inlet temperature, gas volume required to vent the system, total filtration area, problems, and opportunities to improve system performance, needs to be studied. Sometimes simple changes can solve persistent baghouse filtration issues, or even help a marginal system become more reliable and efficient.
Following your decision on the next steps, whether you decide to repair, rebuild, replace units, or convert, we can help with the execution of plans and ensure the plans deliver the results. We have full-service crews to install your conversions and upgrades, highly experienced technical advisors, and dedicated project managers who help to ensure your conversion and system projects finish on time and on budget.
