10 years of EMC bagfilter-technology

摘要

In the last decade, EMC bagfilter-technology from Scheuch GmbH, Aurolzmiinster/Austria, has revolutionized the cement industry and has introduced new standards for filter bag length, pressure drop, cleaning pressure and bag service life. The result has been a significant reduction in life cycle costs (LCC).Thanks to the granted patent, EMC is unique and counts as Best Available Technology (BAT) for process filters — even compared to electrostatic precipitators and reverse air filters. The use of 8m filter bags (EMC 8M) has meanwhile become standard, while 10m filter bags (EMC 10M) have already been installed in systems with capacities above 500000 m~3Vh. More than 160 installed EMC systems within the first ten years underline the superiority of this technology worldwide (Fig. 1).
