Dust/Particles

The treatment of dust was the original task of exhaust air technology in the 1950's. LTB has been involved in this process from the beginning with technologies for particle removal. To date, we have designed, built and thoroughly tested all conceivable processes. Cyclones and filters are basic components of the dry processes.

Cyclones are also individually designed and built at our production facilities for special applications, such as for high temperatures of up to 1000 °C or abrasive media. With filters, we concentrate on that, which the others are no longer capable of accomplishing.

Dusts

Solid matter particulates

Soot

Incomplete burning of solid hydrocarbons

Aerosols/ Blue haze

These are finest solid or liquid suspended particles, which are also designated as vapour, smoke or blue haze. These are often created by condensation of contaminants through the cooling of a gas flow.

SO₃

Results from thermal processes along with sulphur dioxide (SO2), but is not easily separated because it is present in the finest particle form. It creates an easily visible blue haze at the chimney.

P₂O₅

Results from the burning of white phosphors and is present in the finest particle form. It creates an easily visible blue haze at the chimney.

Hot gas dust removal

Dust from gasses at temperatures above 250 °C can be removed only by means of special components.
