Abstract

Filter bag assembly for use in cleaning of process gas comprising an outer tubular filter bag and one or more inner tubular filter bags separately arranged within the outer tubular filter bag, and said one or more inner tubular filter bags also separately arranged within each other, the one or more inner tubular filter bags and the outer tubular filter bags having an open end and a closed end, and at least one of the inner tubular filter bags and/or the outer tubular filter bag being provided with catalytically active material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A filter bag assembly for use in cleaning of process gas comprising an outer tubular filter bag and one or more inner tubular filter bags separately arranged within the outer tubular filter bag, and said one or more inner tubular filter bags also separately arranged within each other, the one or more inner tubular filter bags and the outer tubular filter bags having an open end and a closed end, and at least one of the inner tubular filter bags and/or the outer tubular filter bag comprising a catalytically active material, and wherein a first of the one or more inner tubular filter bags is arranged within the outer tubular filter bag by means of a sealing band at the open end of said first inner tubular filter bag.

2. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the catalytically active material in the outer tubular filer bag in flow direction of the process gas through the filter assembly is capable of actively reducing the content of a first component in the process gas, said first component being able to reduce a catalytic activity of the catalytically active material of one or more downstream inner tubular filter bags in flow direction of the process gas and said downstream filter bag(s) is capable of actively reducing the content of a second component in the process gas.

3. The filter bag assembly of claim 2 , wherein the catalytically active material in the the outer tubular filer bag comprises a vanadium oxide and titania.

4. The filter bag assembly of claim 2 , wherein the catalytically active material in the one or more downstream inner tubular filter bags comprises a vanadium oxide, titania and palladium in metallic and/or oxidic form.

5. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the catalytically active material in at least one of the said one or more inner tubular filter bags and/or said outer tubular filter bag is provided with a catalyst composition comprising a vanadium oxide and titania.

6. The filter bag assembly of claim 5 , wherein the catalytically active material furthermore comprises palladium in metallic and/or oxidic form.

7. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the catalytically active material in the outer tubular filter bag comprises a vanadium oxide and titania.

8. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the catalytically active material in at least one of the one or more inner tubular filter bags comprises a vanadium oxide, titania and palladium in metallic and/or oxidic form.

9. The filter bag assembly according to claim 1 , comprising at least a first and second inner tubular filter bag.

10. The filter bag assembly of claim 9 , wherein the catalytically active material in the first inner tubular filter bag comprises a vanadium oxide and titania.

11. The filter bag assembly of claim 9 , wherein the catalytically material in the second inner tubular filter bag comprises a vanadium oxide, titania and palladium in metallic and/or oxidic form.

12. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag and the one or more inner tubular filter bags are made of woven fabric or needle felt of individual organic or inorganic fibers.

13. The filter bag assembly of claim 12 , wherein the catalytically active material is supported on the individual organic or inorganic fibers of the individual tubular filter bags.

14. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag is coated with a polymeric membrane on an outer side of said outer tubular filter bag facing the process gas.

15. The filter bag assembly of claim 14 , wherein the polymeric membrane consists of polytetrafluoroethylene.

16. The filter bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag and the one or more inner tubular filter bags are provided with a top cuff forming a hollow casing at the open end and holding one or more steel snap bands, onto each of said steel snap bands being adhered a string forming together with the top cuff and the snap band the sealing band.

17. The filter bag assembly of claim 16 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag is provided with an upper sealing band.

18. The filter bag assembly of claim 17 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag is additionally provided with a lower sealing band.

19. The filter bag assembly according to claim 17 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag is mounted in a tube sheet by means of the upper sealing band.

20. The filter bag assembly according to claim 18 , wherein the outer tubular filter bag is mounted in a tube sheet by means of the upper and lower sealing band.

21. The filter bag assembly of claim 16 , wherein a second of the one or more inner tubular filter bags is arranged within the first inner tubular filter bag by means of the sealing band at the open end of said second inner tubular filter bag.

22. The filter bag assembly of claim 21 , wherein an innermost of the one or more inner tubular filter bags is supported by means of a cage arranged inside said innermost inner tubular filter bag.

23. The filter bag assembly of claim 22 , wherein a venturi is fastened at top of the cage at the open end of the innermost inner filter bag.

24. The filter bag assembly of claim 23 , wherein a bottom part of the venturi is fastened to the cage by means of a base ring.

25. The filter assembly of claim 24 , wherein the base ring surrounds the sealing bands.
