Filtration is one of the methods used to control dust emission pollution in many industries. There are many types of filtration techniques available from simple to more complicated filtration systems. Fabric type filtration houses a number of fabric bags placed in a single or multiple compartments as depicted in Figure 1. This system is known as the most efficient dust emission control with removal efficiency of 99.9+%. It can handle acid mist, organics and metallic compounds in a single unit with the support of flue gas cleaning agents.

Pressed Fibre Oil: Quality and Implications

Pressed mesocarp fibre oil or commonly known as pressed fibre oil (PFO) has gained attention due to its potential in palm oil industry. This type of oil is basically extracted using solvent extraction from palm pressed mesocarp fibre produced after pressing stage as shown in Figure 1. On dry basis, the mesocarp fibre contains up […]
