  • Patent number: 10060313
    Abstract: A particulate filtering apparatus for dry filtering exhaust gases of a diesel engine includes at least two compartments independently arranged in parallel with respect to a flow of the exhaust gases. Each of the compartments is equipped with at least one shut-off valve for regulating the flow of gas passing through the compartment and further includes one or more filters adapted to hold the particulate and an emission device to generate a countercurrent gas pulse flow at the one or more filters. A central control unit operates and controls the at least one shut-off valve and of said emission device. Each of the at least two compartments further includes an injector operably controlled by the central control unit for the inlet of hot gases into the at least two compartments.

  • Publication number: 20150143994
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a “dry” particulate filtering apparatus for diesel engines, in particular for marine diesel engines, as well as a method of operation and regeneration of said apparatus. The apparatus according to the present invention is characterised in that it comprises a plurality of independent compartments which are arranged in parallel with respect to the flow of the exhaust gases to be treated, and in that it comprises, on each of said compartments, shut-off means that allow a single compartment to be excluded from the filtering during the regeneration operations of the filtering means, which primarily takes place by means of a countercurrent pulse of compressed air flowing into the filtering means.

  • Patent number: 8894764
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) of NOx in industrial cement production plants. In particular, the method according to the present invention provides for the atomization of an aqueous solution containing the reagent by introducing it into the gas to be treated that is at a high temperature, thus achieving the simultaneous and immediate evaporation of the water and gasification of the reagent. Thanks to this method, there is achieved improved performance of the non-catalytic reduction process of NOx while using the same reagent or, specularly, the same performance with a lesser amount of reagent being required, with consequent reduction of the costs.
