Baghouse System for Syngas

Job number #FTPL10922

Location: Rocklea, Australia 

Time:  Feb 2022 – Feb 2024 

This project was executed for GLP (Gas Liquid Processing), aimed at enhancing the process efficiency through the installation of a tailored system for dust and particulate management. Fowlerex, along with its group company Taylors, provided an integrated solution that included a Syngas cooler, Baghouse, particulate hopper, and limestone dosing system. The scope of the project involved the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of these components. 

1. Syngas Cooler 
   The Syngas cooler was a key part of the project, designed to cool the synthesis gas generated in the gas-liquid processing. This ensured that the downstream equipment, including the Baghouse and particulate hopper, operated within optimal temperature limits, preventing excessive wear and tear. 

2. Baghouse 
   Fowlerex supplied and installed a highly efficient Baghouse to filter particulates from the gas stream. This unit was essential in meeting the regulatory requirements for emissions and ensuring a clean process environment by effectively capturing dust particles. 

3. Particulate Hopper 
   The particulate hopper, integrated with the Baghouse, was designed to collect the particulates removed from the gas stream. Its design allowed for smooth operation and easy disposal of the collected dust, contributing to the overall efficiency of the dust suppression system. 

4. Limestone Dosing System 
   The limestone dosing system was a crucial part of the system, responsible for injecting limestone into the process stream to neutralise any acidic components and maintain the integrity of the system. This helped in reducing corrosion and improving overall system performance. 

Commissioning challenges were overcome by adjusting parameters to suit on site actual conditions, resulting in successful operation and performance as intended to be delivered. 

Outcomes 

Fowlerex and Taylors successfully delivered a custom solution that addressed GLP’s process requirements. The combination of the Syngas cooler, Baghouse, particulate hopper, and limestone dosing system resulted in improved process efficiency and ensured compliance with environmental regulations. The project was completed within the expected timeline, and the system is now operating smoothly with ongoing performance monitoring. 

This tailored solution showcases Fowlerex's capability to provide advanced dust suppression and gas processing solutions for a wide range of industries.
