Deciding when to replace baghouse filters can be one of the more challenging aspects of dust collection operation and maintenance to get right. Get it wrong and plants can waste large amounts of resources on unneeded filters, lose valuable production time, or get hit with costly fines and sanctions over exceeded emissions limits.
Triboelectric dust monitoring systems from Auburn Systems can enable maintenance planners to make better decisions regarding filter replacement than relying on just opacity or differential pressure alone. To that end, lets review how the filter changeout process works and how triboelectric detection systems improve this process.
