Hot gas filtration is a critical process in industrial environments where high-temperature gases must be cleaned of particulates before further processing, energy recovery, or emission. These systems are essential for protecting downstream equipment, meeting environmental regulations, and maintaining efficient operations.
Hot gas filters are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, often exceeding 260°C (500°F) and in some cases reaching up to 900°C (1650°F), depending on the application and filter media. They are commonly used in industries such as cement, steel, biomass energy, incineration, petrochemical, and chemical processing.
High-Temperature Resistance – Operates reliably in extreme thermal environments
Particulate Removal Efficiency – Captures fine dust, ash, and catalyst particles
Protects Downstream Equipment – Prevents fouling, erosion, and corrosion
Enables Energy Recovery – Cleaner gas allows for safe heat exchange and reuse
Supports Emissions Compliance – Helps meet environmental standards (e.g., PM, heavy metals)
Durable Construction – Filters made from sintered metal, ceramic, or special fiber composites
Waste-to-energy plants
Gasification systems
Chemical reactors
Metal smelting and refining
Catalyst recovery systems
Industrial boilers and furnaces
Ceramic Filters – Ideal for very high temperatures and corrosive gases
Sintered Metal Filters – Reusable and mechanically strong
High-Temp Fabrics (e.g., PTFE, PPS) – For baghouses in moderately hot conditions
