Abstract
The information presented in this paper is directed toward those concerned with specifying and operating larger size fiberglass bag filter houses. Information on emissions, bag life, instrumentation, and maintenance is presented from an operating installation. The solutions to particular problems of short bag life, one due to erratic start-up and the other due to coarse dust are presented and discussed. The bag filter collectors are satisfactory for these applications and a bag life of 22 to 34 months is being realized. Proper hopper inlet arrangement, hydraulic dampers, and reverse air draft control are believed to be partially responsible for the good operation and bag life.
