The Aerodynamic Module (ADM) provides a unique solution to the problem of particulate removal from dry gas flow. The application of advanced aerodynamic engineering provides the means to attain particulate collection efficiencies in excess of 95% with low energy consumption (3 inch--7 inch WC). The ADM is characterized by its simple design with no moving parts or fibers, compact size, high wearing tolerance, flexibility for installation, and high temperature tolerances to 1,600 F. The ADM is of a modular design, with 3 basic designs available. Individual modules may be combined in a parallel configuration, or ``block``, with a common hopper, to accommodate the process gas flow. The ADM may be mounted in a variety of orientations; vertical down-ward, inclined down-ward or horizontal, or combinations of these arrangements. Higher collection efficiencies may be obtained by staging or mounting ``blocks`` in series arrangements. This flexibility, combined with its compact size, results in low installation costs and provides the opportunity for installation as a material recovery system close to process equipment, with the recovered product being returned to the process at the source of generation. The ADM can be installed in new or existing systems.
