Environmental-pollution, Fabric filter, Cement industry, Centrifugal filtersAbstract
The rapid development of the field of cement industry, which is one of the important industries in the construction. As much as we need this industry, which is considered one of the industries that pollute the environment, we need to pay attention to the stages of industrial processes in the required manner and with the least possible damage in terms of environmental pollution. This research studied the stages of filtration by means of filters. Thus, we will review a practical comparison of the performance of two types of filters used in Libyan factories, which are centrifugal filters, which are used in Leptis cement factory, and the cloth filter used in Elmergib cement factory. For more clarification, we analyzed the operational data collected from the factories’ control rooms, and through these data the effect of two important factors was studied, namely the effect of the amount of dust and the size of the particles entering the filters on the efficiency, then comparing the efficiency of the filters, where the results showed that the efficiency of the fabric filter is higher by about 1%. From the efficiency of the centrifugal filter, taking into account the many features that distinguish the centrifugal filter from the cloth filter, the filters are close in terms of the particle size effect on the efficiency, and from here we can say that the best values for the size of the particles are from the size of (200-100) µm.
