In Australian waste-to-energy plants, our ceramic filtration systems have demonstrated consistent performance in controlling hydrogen chloride emissions from varying waste compositions. Field data from multiple installations show:
| Application | HCl Inlet Concentration | Removal Efficiency | Operating Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Municipal Waste Incineration | 800-1200 mg/Nm³ | 99.7% | 180-220°C |
| Medical Waste Treatment | 1200-2000 mg/Nm³ | 99.5% | 200-240°C |
Glass Manufacturing Industry
Australian glass manufacturers benefit significantly from our ceramic filtration technology, particularly in controlling hydrogen chloride emissions from melting furnaces. The system's ability to operate at elevated temperatures eliminates the need for costly gas cooling, resulting in substantial energy savings while maintaining exceptional emission control performance.
Comparative Advantage Over Traditional Technologies
When compared to conventional acid gas control methods, ZTW Tech's ceramic filters for reducing hydrogen chloride emissions offer distinct advantages:
Superior to Wet Scrubbers: Eliminates wastewater generation, reduces chemical consumption, and avoids corrosion issues associated with wet systems.
Advantages Over Bag Filters: Higher temperature capability, longer service life (5+ years versus 1-2 years for bags), and resistance to acid condensation.
Beyond Activated Carbon: Continuous operation without media replacement, simultaneous multi-pollutant control, and no hazardous waste generation.
Integrated Multi-Pollutant Control Capability
Our ceramic filtration systems excel not only in hydrogen chloride removal but also provide comprehensive emission control for:
- Simultaneous removal of SO₂, HF, and other acid gases
- Integrated denitrification (NOx reduction) through catalytic functionality
- Particulate matter filtration to sub-micron levels
- Destruction of dioxins and furans
- Heavy metals capture through adsorption mechanisms
This integrated approach makes ceramic filters for reducing hydrogen chloride emissions particularly valuable for Australian industries facing comprehensive emission compliance requirements.
