Reduce operating and energy costs and simultaneously assure EPA regulatory compliance with integration of intelligent baghouse control and sensing

Abstract

Traditional baghouse control and sensing devices for the cement industry have progressed into the era of intelligent automation. Instrumentation solutions now integrate high-efficiency baghouse control technologies with state-of-the-art particulate emissions monitors, non-clogging differential pressure sensors and compressed air sensors to optimize filtration and provide a reliable and justifiable Return-on-Investment (ROI). This paper reviews how these innovative yet field-proven systems provide financial savings that reduce baghouse operating and maintenance costs. Smart baghouse control and monitoring systems assure EPA Regulatory Compliance and simultaneously minimize compressed air and energy use, reduce labor costs, extend filter life and minimize down-time. A perceived government regulatory cost is converted into a viable and unexpected investment offering a reasonable payback worth investigating.
