Comparative Performance Analysis
When evaluating emission control technologies for petrochemical applications, our ceramic filtration systems demonstrate clear advantages over traditional approaches:
Versus Baghouse Filters: Ceramic filters offer superior temperature resistance, chemical durability, and filtration efficiency. While baghouse systems may struggle with high-temperature streams and chemical degradation, our ceramic elements maintain performance across the entire operational range of petrochemical processes.
Versus Electrostatic Precipitators: Unlike ESP systems that can be affected by gas composition changes and require significant space, our compact ceramic filtration units provide consistent performance regardless of process variations and occupy up to 60% less footprint.
Versus SCR/SNCR Systems: Traditional selective catalytic reduction and selective non-catalytic reduction systems address only NOx emissions. Our integrated approach eliminates the need for multiple treatment stages by combining NOx reduction with simultaneous removal of other pollutants in a single vessel.
