SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CLEANING PARTICULATE COLLECTION DEVICES USED IN A FLUE GAS PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A system is provided for removing particulate matter from a particulate collection device utilized to collect particulate matter from a flue gas stream. The system includes a pressure vessel for storing a pressurized gaseous medium in an interior area defined by the pressure vessel. A first pressure sensor is in communication with the interior area and configured to measure pressure therein. A particulate collection device for collecting particulate matter from a flue gas stream includes a conduit in communication with the pressure vessel. A valve is disposed in the conduit and adapted to open to release a pulse of the pressurized gaseous medium from the pressure vessel into the particulate collection device. A control system is in communication with the valve and the first pressure sensor, and includes a controller configured to operate the valve based upon at least one pressure measurement received from the first pressure sensor.
