Case Study: GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags — Longer Bag Life and Stable Operation in Refining Catalyst Production
Case Studies, United States
A multinational producer of alumina catalyst desired longer pulse jet filter bag life and steadier operation in both their calciner and feedbin baghouses. The customer historically used standard GORE® Filter Bags in each process baghouse (ePTFE membrane on 830 gsm PTFE backer in calciner and ePTFE membrane on 543 gsm polyester backer for dryer). They installed GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags with identical backers for this trial. Process data from the standard membrane bags was used as a control comparator.
