Ceramic filter technology is applied across a diverse range of industrial processes. Their robust design and extended service life enable reliable, high-performance operation, leading to increased adoption across both traditional and emerging industries.

Outlined below are key application areas. For further guidance on the suitability of Cerafil ceramic filters for your process, please contact our technical team.

Industrial Multi-Pollutant Ceramic Filter Systems

For over two decades, ceramic filters have been at the heart of some of the most demanding pollutant removal systems available in today’s industrial markets. With the full capability to achieve multi-pollutant reduction of PM (>99.99%), together with NOx, SOx, HCl, VOC, HAPs, Dioxins & Furans >95%, the single-pass through systems are proven to deliver the highest levels of continuous emissions reduction. When compared to multi-stage solutions such as ESP- Scrubber-SCR or Baghouse-Scrubber-SCR combinations, ceramic filter systems, not only provide an enhanced layout and design, but deliver a more cost-effective solution that can support your long-term compliance needs.

Hot Gas & Syngas Filtration Systems

Ceramic Filters were first used to provide virtually 100% reduction of particulate and dust in hot temperature applications. With the filters capable of operating in temperatures of up to 900 °C (1,650 °F) , they have been used across a wide range of industries to ensure maximum & continuous particulate removal. For many of today’s newer solutions, including carbon capture & storage (CCS) and syngas, ceramic filters can provide the highest levels of PM reduction to minimize any downstream equipment issues.

Retrofit of Baghouses & ESP to Multi-Pollutant Systems

Increasingly stringent emissions legislation is driving the need for wider multi-pollutant control, with traditional solutions relying on the addition of further equipment. In many cases, layout constraints and cost considerations make this approach impractical, creating uncertainty around future compliance. By upgrading existing baghouse or electrostatic precipitator (ESP) systems to ceramic filtration technology, operators can achieve equal or improved particulate removal while gaining the capability to address additional pollutants within the same system footprint.

Maritime Multi-Pollutant Systems

As part of several pioneering projects in California, Cerafil ceramic filters have been utilized to mitigate multi-pollutants for ocean-going vessels when docked in ports. Delivering the same, high performance as our traditional, land-based systems, these projects meet the high levels of PM, NOx and SOx removal required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
