Baghouse Engineered Systems

Engineered systems provide alternatives to new equipment. GE Energy's pulse-jet conversions and baghouse rebuilds are designed to maximize the operating efficiency of existing equipment, providing a customized, economical alternative to purchasing new equipment.

Thousands of modifications to improve dust collector performance have been designed by our engineering department. Computer Aided Design (CAD) engineering techniques incorporate established design practices to meet your unique process needs.

Features & Benefits

Benefits of a pulse-jet conversion:

Increased filter bag life
Increased airflow
Lower maintenance costs
Clean-side filter replacement for increased personnel safety
Online cleaning, eliminating fluctuations in ventilation caused by offline cleaning in shaker, reverse air, and plenum pulse baghouses
"Clean-on-demand" systems that clean the filter bags only when needed, extending filter bag life and reducing compressed air usage
Appropriate filter media for the application to achieve maximum filtration efficiency

Application
Pulse-jet conversions
Pulse-jet conversions can be performed on shaker, reverse air, and plenum pulse collectors. If your collector has problems with poor gas flow, high maintenance costs, high dust emissions, or expensive or hard-to-get parts, a pulse-jet conversion could be the answer to your problem. GE has developed special designs and techniques to convert a wide range of OEM designs to pulse-jet collectors.
Some of the types of conversions are:
Complete hopper up conversion
Top-load design clean air plenum
Bottom-load design clean air plenum
Technical components and engineering design within the existing housing
Conversion for collectors with minimal overhead space using high efficiency pleated filter elements
On-site Capabilities
GE can rebuild existing air pollution control equipment to reduce capital expenditures, improve efficiency, prolong bag life, and reduce maintenance costs.

Rebuilds may include:

repairing or replacing tubesheets

replacing or lining hoppers

replacing or stiffening sidewalls

repairing or replacing the cleaning system, or upgrading to 1-1/2 in. (3.8 cm) double diaphragm valves for increased cleaning energy

repairing or replacing dampers

replacing or reworking material handling systems including fans, screw conveyors, airlocks and slide gates

replacing or rebuilding doors

patching housing leaks

installing expansion joints

modifying inlet baffling systems

Cartridge-style conversions

GE can supply cartridge-style conversions for those collectors that require side access. GE cartridge conversions utilize easy slide-in, slide-out filter installations that allow for fast cartridge change out.

The collectors can be supplied in new clean plenums or hopper up designs. These small units still incorporate the same heavy-duty construction standards as our larger conversion units.
