Moisture
Please tell us that you check your baghouse filters enough before letting moisture build up this badly.
Common sources of condensation and moisture in a baghouse are leaking gaskets around the doors and airlocks or upset conditions in the process. Moisture can weaken the filter media, causing filter leaks or failures, and allow dust to bypass the filters. It can also alter the adhesion characteristics of the dust creating hard-to-clean mud and blinding of the filter. Moisture can also create chemical issues within the baghouse. For example, acid gases mixed with high moisture can cause an acid flash. This is where the acids condense out of the gas stream and damage the filters and housing.
As discussed in this and the previous article, there are a number of reasons why industrial baghouse filters fail prematurely. best-filter.com has experience helping many with these and other problems find solutions to get their systems back to peak performance.
