Hot gas filtration
Offering a wide range of ceramic hot gas filtration services in South Africa
Ceramic hot gas filtration plants are appropriate for multiple industries.
Does your incineration plant have to lower its emission levels?
Our ceramic hot gas filters are used in incineration units and in biomass boilers, removing particulate to below 5 mg/m³. This is achieved through our dry gas scrubbing which removes acid gasses, dioxins, and heavy metals.
Saubatech can assist your company to lower its emission levels, ensuring that you comply with the global emission regulation standard.

Global emision standards solution
The majority of industrial waste management processes produce emissions, which are hazardous to your health and pollute the environment.
Most countries have instituted regulations that limit hazardous emissions, requiring these gasses to be filtered. These gasses reach several hundred degrees in temperature, which conventional bag-type filters cannot accommodate. This leaves ceramic hot gas filtration as the only reliable long-term solution.
Particulate Matter often consists of fine particles (PM 2.5), which are extremely harmful to people. PM 2.5 is able to pass through many conventional filters, with ceramic hot gas filtration offering the only reliable method of capturing hazardous waste emissions. Dry gas scrubbers are used in conjunction with ceramic filters, to either adsorb or neutralize other harmful products, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen fluoride (HF), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and dioxins.
Our ceramic filtration units work by drawing the flue gas through hollow ceramic filter elements, capturing particles on the filter wall. The structure of the filter elements is so fine, that it successfully captures PM 2.5.
The filter unit is split into “dirty” and “clean” compartments, with the flue gas entering on the “dirty” side and particulate matter being captured by the filter element. Clean air then passes from the filter element into the “clean side” and out to the stack.
The filter elements are periodically cleaned. Reverse pulse cleaning makes use of compressed air, allowing the built-up particles to be discharged into a collection bin.

Ceramic Filtration
Due to the increasing concern about emissions and the impact people have on the environment, we have designed incinerator plants to help improve the environment we live in. Our filtration systems are designed to EU and USA standards of absolute lowest emissions and achieve the removal of 98% of particle matter.
Dry Gas Scrubbing
Designed with gas scrubbing in mind, our hot gas filters effortlessly incorporate sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon scrubbing. This is used to neutralise acid gasses (namely: HCL, HF, SO2), whilst adsorbing dioxins and heavy metals such as mercury and lead.
Our hot gas filtration units are further designed for optimal performance of sodium bicarbonate for its effective range of 140°C to 450°C. Operating at higher velocities ensures that there is no additional need for reaction towers, or other ancillary equipment required for effective dry scrubbing. Filters are modelled using CFD software to ensure even distribution and retention of the scrubber.
Making use of dry gas scrubbing, at temperatures above 400°, prevent the reformation of dioxins. Using bag filters will not achieve this, as it operates between 140°C to 260°C.
Filter Options
Filter Options
We currently provide three different filtration systems. MacroCeramic filters for high temperatures up to 900°C, Glosfume filters for up to 450°C for the lowest emissions, and Glosfume biomass filters.
Standard filter pods range from 3500 to 9800 Am³, with all filters being modular units which can be linked together for extremely large processes. The modular units allow for easier installation, lower transport costs, flexible installation footprint, high redundancy, and easy maintenance.
