OSTI ID:6748397
Baghouses are apparently the most efficient air pollution control devices for hogged-fuel-fired boilers. Although operating experience in this field is limited, new second-generation units are now operating which incorporate certain design changes (described), for controlling fire dangers and optimizing both bag life and maintenance. Guidelines are given for the selection of the proper bag fabric, and methods are described for avoiding abrasion of both the bags and the bag support system. Baghouse maintenance procedures are described, and potential fire hazards and fire protection systems are discussed.
