The filtration specialist Donaldson is presenting its comprehensive product range for air pollution control at the ENTSORGA-ENTECO, hall 7.1, stand H61. The focus of the trade exhibit presentation is PowerCore®: This new filtration technology reduces the operating costs of dust collection units, for example in thermal and mechanical waste handling as well as in waste recycling facilities.
In comparison to the conventional dust collectors, the Donaldson Torit units using the new PowerCore® technology are up to 70 % smaller. The significance of this development becomes evident with the following example: For a dust collection unit, which up to now had to be equipped with 81 bag filters of each 2,40 m in length, now only 12 PowerCore® filter packs are required. The rounded shape of the PowerCore® filter packs in conjunction with the proprietary Ultra-Web® filter media allows a higher dust load to be collected on the surface of the media flutes, as would be possible with conventional fibre filters with a depth loading of 540 g/m2 standard polyester. This high surface performance combined with an innovative pulse cleaning technology leads to the high performance increase, in the smallest spaces, at the lowest pressure drop and a minimised energy input.
For most of the industries, the development of PowerCore® fulfils the requirement for simple and service friendly maintenance of dust collectors which has been a demand for many years: Not only due to the increased filter life time, but also because of the incomparable simple filter replacements PowerCore® sets the contributing standard towards improved dust collection technology. With the introduction of this new filtration technology, Donaldson further extends its European wide service offering of maintenance on dust collectors.

Donaldson is also presenting high-efficiency filter media for the filtration of liquids and gases as well as its engineering services at the ENTSORGA-ENTECO. This comprehensive approach and global presence in all industrial sectors have made the company an important partner for the industrial environmental protection. An example for capability of Donaldson Engineering within the recycling industry is the installation of the modular baghouse system (MB) in the mining operations at Brixlegg (Austria). In this plant, approximately 130,000 tons of copper-containing secondary materials are annually recycled to pure copper in a number of procedural steps. Modular constructed and flow-optimised filter units of the MB system are installed for an air flow rate of 60,000 m³/h for slag processing and 200,000 m³/h for the furnace for the replacement of the filter systems.

Another highlight is the filter medium Dura-Life developed by Donaldson, which offers specific economic advantages combined with high filtration efficiency. In comparison to conventional media a two to three times longer service life can be achieved with this new filter generation. Many more dirt particles are separated by the fine-pored surface of the Dura-Life filter medium. Cleaning can be done with less pressure and less mechanical stress. In addition, fewer particles are deposited in the depth of the medium where they can only insufficiently be removed by cleaning and increase the differential pressure. In this way the filter replacement costs are reduced and also the often complex work of the element replacement has to be performed less frequently.
