Baghouse

A baghouse is a type of industrial dust collector used to capture harmful dust emissions from industrial processes such as power generation and manufacturing.

A baghouse also known as a fabric filter dust collector is an air pollution control device that removes particulates rom a gas stream. Baghouses are often employed in large industrial applications such as power generation, steel mills, chemical production and manufacturing plants to capture air pollutants generated during normal operation. In many countries environmental regulation essentially mandates the installation and operation of a baghouse system achieve a reduction of hazardous air emissions from industrial sources.[1] Additionally, in some instances the baghouse functions to recover product as part of the industrial process such as by collecting precious metals or pharmaceutical dusts created during manufacturing. Baghouses are also used for workplace safety purposes such as the prevention of combustible dust explosions[2] and reducing worker exposure to harmful compounds.[3]
