Performance of Filter Media as Function of ...

Present investigation elucidates the role of pulse pressure and fibre fineness in the media on the emission and various pressure parameters (peak pressure, residual pressure and cake pressure). The individual as well as interaction effect of pulse pressure and fibre fineness on the media performance are very different as filtration process change from transient to steady state. Interaction effect among pulse pressure and fibre denier in media becomes very prominent with the passage of filtration time. The study also reveals that pulse pressure parameter is to be set in accordance to fibre fineness in the media keeping a balance between emission and operational pressure drop across the media.
