Combining ESP and fabric filter technology

Only FLSmidth has the experience and expertise to provide the most efficient air pollution control solutions for your specific requirements, including upgrades to improve the performance, efficiency and longevity of your existing equipment.

Using a hybrid filter, a part of your ESP is modified to function with both ESP and fabric filter technology. The original section collects the majority of the dust, while the fabric filter section removes the fine particles. This way, the hybrid filter ensures optimum particulate removal efficiency at all times and is also less expensive to install than a new fabric filter, with lower operating costs.

Features and benefits

Improved performance – greater reduction of mass and fine particle emissions, even if the ESP section is de-energised.

Significant energy efficiency – less dust on the filter bags results in lower pressure drop, fewer cleaning cycles and compressed air savings.

Greater reliability – constant low emissions in spite of varying operational conditions.

More cost-effective – use of existing ESP structure and less demand on the fabric filter section makes the hybrid solution significantly better value for your investment.
