CATALYTIC BAG FILTERS• Filter bags: impregnated with catalyst or powdered
catalyst mixed into the fibre structure (PTFE).• PCDD/F can be destroyed on the catalyst rather than be
adsorbed by the activated carbon, and discharged assolid waste.
• Bag filters: operate at temperatures between 180°C and250°C.
• Application:• Concentrations of particulate matter: 1 – 2 mg/Nm3.• Crematoriums in Germany and Japan: < 0.1 ng
TEQ/Nm3

CATALYTIC CERAMIC BAG FILTERS• Material: catalytic silicate ceramic fiber • Prevent risks of explosion and burning of bags• Temperature: up to 1.000ºC. • Resistant to temperature steps (from 850 °C to 100 °C in less than 5 seconds)• Resistant to acid gases (SOx, NOx).• Chemical stability• Resists hydrolysis and chemical oxidation (exception: HF, H3PO4 and concentrated
alkalies)• Effective for PCDD/F.
