The Use of Bag Filters in a DAP Plant

Bag filters have not been commonly used in DAP plants. It is possible, however, to employ them as an alternative to cyclones and wet scrubbers in certain circumstances. This paper examines the most appropriate airstreams within the plant for the application of bag filters uses and discusses the pros and cons for their use in each case, including an economic assessment for a specific example. The paper also discusses the necessary design features for the successful use of bag filters.
