The apparatus includes a filter element held in a filter element mounting frame, wherein a flange is disposed on an end of the filter element located on the side which receives dirty gas, and wherein the side of the flange opposite the dirty gas side is pressed against a flange of the filter element mounting frame. A seal packing is disposed between the filter flange and frame flange to seal the elements. Further, a plurality of honeycomb filter elements structured as above may be collected and accommodated to form a honeycomb pack.
