pulsed jet cleaning

Pulsed Jet cleaning is a method used in gas filtration for the in-situ removal of accumulated particulate from the surface of a filter element. It is a well established principle that we have improved by the use of stainless steel fibre filters (or other higher alloys). This is an important innovation in filtration technology offering many advantages.

In Pulsed Jet cleaning , when filter elements are contaminated or laden with dust, a sonic pulse of gas is blown back through the filter elements. This dislodges the dust which then drops freely to the bottom of the vessel for removal, ensuring that it is suitably contained (hazardous material) or recovered (valuable product).

Typical applications of the technology are widespread, ranging from the recovery of highly valuable pharmaceutical product under sterile conditions, to the filtration of hot gases - including the recovery of catalysts in synthetic fuel production and the high temperature removal of radioactive contaminant from nuclear reactor gas-cooling systems.
