EMC-FILTER
A special design
The EMC (Energy-Minimizing-Concept) was specially developed for large-scale filtration plants such as those used in the cement industry for dedusting kilns and clinker coolers. The patented Energy-Minimizing-Concept guarantees lowest operating costs for applications with high dust loading and fine types of dust.
The practical experience of the last six years and the latest measurements impressively underscore the superiority of the EMC-filter in comparison to pulse-jet and reverse-air technology. It was even possible to exceed expectations with respect to the potential savings. With strict emission limits, operating costs of the EMC-filter are meanwhile lower than those of an electrostatic precipitator.
Energy Minimizing Concept
EMC is based on a low pressure, jet pulse cleaning method and operates with a cleaning pressure of 0.8 – 3.0 bar. Cleaning is so efficient and effective that the filter can be operated with a low differential pressure. This concept is realized in what we call our Zero-Flow Design. This allows individual filter modules to be pulled from the gas stream and cleaned at staggered intervals, resulting in gentle and low-impact cleaning of the filter bags. SCHEUCH’s highly developed and proven Impulse cleaning system not only works with a low tank pressure, but also with a low required volume of compressed air. 10 - 30% reduction in fan energy costs
The improved cleaning behaviour makes it possible to operate the filter with a reduced differential pressure.
So this is the greatest source of potential savings, because fan energy costs normally account for more than 60% of a filter´s total energy costs.
60 – 80% reduction in compressed air consumption
Even in the case of heavy or extremely fine dust loads, EMC technology has made it possible to reduce the number of cleaning impulses by half and to reduce the tank pressure to < 2 bar.
Substantially longer service life for filter bags
The investment in new filter media is the second largest contributor to the operating costs of a filter plant. EMC’s low cleaning pressure ensures gentle, low-impact cleaning of filter bags and the Zero Flow Design prevents a hard rebound of the filter bag on the support cage. In addition, EMC technology has also cut the number of cleaning impulses in half. The result is a substantially longer service life for filter bags.
