Ceramic hot gas filter elements

Glosfume ceramic filter elements

Our ceramic hot gas filter elements are designed to remove particulate matter with filtration efficiencies exceeding 99.99%.

Glosfume’s in-house manufacturing facility of hot gas ceramic filter elements was developed and commercialized in 2003. Originally for the aluminium industry to solve an issue of fires happening within the filter bag housing. Sparks were being carried over in the gas stream and setting fire to the carbon collected on the fabric filters. Glosfume ceramic fiber hot gas filters were developed using high temperature fibers and are designed to work in the same way as a traditional fabric filter but with much higher temperature capability and resistance to sparks. Since 2003, the benefits of the product mean that they have been used in a variety of applications from metal & mining to product recovery to applications such as energy-from-waste and renewable energy.

Key features of Glosfume ceramic hot gas elements include:

A high temperature threshold of up to 1000⁰C
Compatibility with sorbents
Non-combustibility
Corrosion resistance

Designing pollution control equipment around Glosfume ceramic gas filtration media saves CAPEX and OPEX and reduces the footprint of the installation while providing extended service life and energy savings.

Benefits of Ceramic Candle Hot Gas Filters

Exceptional Heat Tolerance

Ceramic hot gas filter candles are built to perform in extreme thermal environments, handling temperatures up to 1000°C. This makes them an excellent choice for industrial applications where high heat is a constant factor, and they work effectively across all process types, including scrubbing applications.

Acid and Alkali Resistant

These ceramic filter elements offer outstanding durability against corrosive substances and maintain their non-flammable properties under all operating conditions.

Reduces Equipment Complexity

By serving as a comprehensive filtration solution, ceramic candle filters minimize or eliminate the need for additional equipment like reaction towers and cyclones.

Cost-Effective and Environmentally Responsible

Operating at elevated temperatures during filtration delivers significant advantages on both fronts. The process conserves energy by avoiding the cooling requirements that would otherwise be necessary before traditional filtration methods can be applied.

Recovers Valuable Production Materials

Hot gas filtration goes beyond just cleaning emissions—it captures dust and particulates that can be fed back into your manufacturing process. This material recovery reduces your raw material expenses and improves overall plant productivity.

Works Seamlessly with Heat Recovery Technology

When dust removal happens at high temperatures, your facility can take advantage of modern heat recovery and power generation systems. This integration leads to better energy efficiency and significantly lower operational expenses.

Types of Ceramic Filters and Sizes Available

As industry leaders in manufacturing premium filtration solutions, we specialize in producing superior G3 ceramic filters. Our high-temperature ceramic filter elements are engineered to function reliably in thermal conditions reaching up to 1000°C.

Our G3 ceramic filter lineup comes in multiple configurations to suit different operational needs:

500mm length (G3-500)

1000mm length (G3-1000)

1250mm length (G3-1250)

3000mm length (G3-3000)

5000mm length (G3-5000)

Each of these standard dimensions has been thoroughly tested and proven to deliver exceptional particulate removal performance. If your application requires non-standard specifications or alternative lengths, we offer custom-engineered filter elements designed specifically to match your exact operational parameters.
