Baghouses

CFD model of a baghouse Baghouses are used to remove particulate from a gas stream. In order to increase bag life, maximize capture efficiency, and minimize pressure drop, it is desirable to ensure well-behaved flow through the device. Combining ICAC standards with manufacturer and final customer requirements, ASC can improve baghouse flows by:
  • Ensuring a uniform portion of the gas and particulate go to each compartment, with all compartments in service or with one out of service.
  • Ensuring that flows entering each compartment are well-behaved and that all bags are utilized within a given compartment.
  • Preventing gas velocities that are high enough to damage a bag
  • Minimizing pressure losses
