A baghouse, also known as a fabric filter, is highly efficient at capturing particulate matter from industrial exhaust gases. The efficiency of a baghouse can vary based on several factors, but it typically achieves the following:

Efficiency Levels
Particulate Matter Capture:
Baghouses can achieve efficiencies of 99% or higher for capturing particulate matter, including fine particles (PM2.5 and PM10).
Size of Particles:
They are effective in capturing a wide range of particle sizes, including both larger particles and finer dust.
Factors Influencing Efficiency
Filter Media:
The type of fabric used (e.g., polyester, polypropylene) affects efficiency. Certain materials are better suited for specific types of dust.
Air-to-Cloth Ratio:
This ratio refers to the volume of air passing through a given area of filter cloth. A lower ratio generally increases efficiency but may require larger filter areas.
Dust Characteristics:
The physical and chemical properties of the dust being collected (e.g., moisture content, particle shape) can influence performance.
Operating Conditions:
Temperature, humidity, and gas composition can also impact efficiency. Baghouses are often designed to operate optimally within specific conditions.
Maintenance and Performance
Regular maintenance, including cleaning and replacing filter bags, is crucial to maintain high efficiency. Clogged or damaged bags can significantly reduce performance.
