Abstract
Baghouse filtration products (BFPs) were evaluated by the Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT)
pilot of the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program. The performance factor verified
was the mean outlet particle concentration for the filter fabric as a function of the size for particles equal
to and smaller than 2.5 |J,m in aerodynamic diameter (PM 2.5). The ETV APCT Pilot Program
developed a generic verification protocol for testing baghouse filtration products that is based on a
modified VDI Method 3926. The protocol was developed by RTI and ETS, reviewed by a technical
panel of experts, and approved by EPA. The protocol addresses several issues that VDI Method 3926
does not cover, including periodic testing, acquisition of BFP samples for testing, and product definition.
A Test/Quality Assurance Plan and a Standard Operating Procedure were prepared to address the test
procedure and quality assurance and quality control requirements for obtaining verification data of
sufficient quantity and quality to satisfy the data quality objectives.
ETS performed tests on Standard Filter Corporation's filter sample PE16ZU during the period of July 17-
20, 2000. Mean outlet particle concentrations for total mass and PM 2.5 were determined. In addition,
the following verification parameters were measured and reported: residual pressure drop increase,
average residual pressure drop, average filtration cycle time, and mass gain of the filter sample.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created the Environmental Technology
Verification (ETV) Program to facilitate the deployment of innovative or improved technologies through
performance verification and information dissemination. The ETV Program is intended to assist and
inform those involved in the design, distribution, permitting, and purchase of environmental
technologies.
The U.S. EPA's partner in the Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT) program is Research Triangle
Institute (RTI). The APCT program, with the full participation of the technology developer, develops
plans, conducts tests, collects and analyzes data, and reports findings. The evaluations are conducted
according to a rigorous protocol and quality assurance and quality control oversight. The APCT Program
verifies the performance of commercial-ready technologies used to control air pollutant emissions, with
an emphasis on technologies for controlling particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen
oxides, and hazardous air pollutants. The program develops standardized verification protocols and test
plans, conducts independent testing of technologies, and prepares verification test reports and statements
for broad dissemination.
SECTION 2
VERIFICATION TEST DESCRIPTION
The baghouse filtration products were tested in accordance with the APCT "Generic Verification
Protocol for Baghouse Filtration Products"1 and the "Test/QA Plan for the Verification Testing of
Baghouse Filtration Products."2 This protocol incorporated all requirements for quality management,
quality assurance, procedures for product selection, auditing of the test laboratories, and reporting
format. The Generic Verification Protocol describes the overall procedures to be used for verification
testing and defines the data quality objectives. The Test/QA Plan details how the test laboratory (ETS)
will implement and meet the requirements of the Generic Verification Protocol.
Mean outlet particle concentration was determined from the Filtration Efficiency Media Analyzer
(FEMA) test apparatus. The test apparatus consists of a brush-type dust feeder that disperses test dust
into a vertical rectangular duct (raw-gas channel). A radioactive polonium-210 alpha source is used to
neutralize the dust electrically before its entry into the raw-gas channel. A portion of the gas flow is
extracted from the raw-gas channel through the test filter, which is mounted vertically at the entrance to a
horizontal duct (clean-gas channel). The clean-gas flow is separated using an aerodynamic "Y" so that a
representative sample of the clean gas flows through an Andersen impactor that determines the outlet
particle concentration.
The particle size was measured while a fine dust was injected into the air stream upstream of the filter
fabric sample.
1
-------
The following series of tests was performed on three separate randomly selected filter fabric samples:
• Dust characterization (first sample fabric verification test only),
• Conditioning period,
• Recovery period, and
• Performance test period.
To simulate long-term operation, the test filter was first subjected to a conditioning period, which
consists of 10,000 rapid pulse cleaning cycles under continuous dust loading. During this period, the
time between cleaning pulses is maintained at 3 seconds. No filter performance parameters are measured
in this period.
The conditioning period is immediately followed by a recovery period, which allows the test filter fabric
to recover from rapid pulsing. The recovery period consists of 30 normal filtration cycles under
continuous and constant dust loading. During a normal filtration cycle, the dust cake is allowed to form
on the test filter until a differential pressure of 1,000 Pa (4.0 in. w.g.) is reached. At this point the test
filter is cleaned by a pulse of compressed air from the clean-gas side of the fabric. The next filtration
cycle begins immediately after the cleaning is complete.
Performance testing occurs for a 6-hour period immediately following the recovery period (a cumulative
total of 10,030 filtration cycles after the test filter has been installed in the test apparatus). During the
performance test period, normal filtration cycles are maintained and, as in the case of the conditioning
and recovery periods, the test filter is subjected to continuous and constant dust loading.
The filtration velocity (G/C) and inlet dust concentrations are maintained at 180 ±9 m/h (9.8 ± 0.5 fpm)
and 18.4 ± 3.6 g/dscm (8.0 ±1.6 gr/dscf), respectively, throughout all phases of the test.
Additional details on the test procedure are provided in Appendix A.
2.1 SELECTION OF FILTRATION SAMPLE FOR TESTING
The samples of filter fabric (PE16ZU) were supplied to ETS directly from the manufacturer (Standard
Filter Corporation) with a letter signed by Toby Wiik, Director of Engineering, Standard Filter
Corporation, attesting that the filter media were selected at random in an unbiased manner from
commercial grade media and have not been treated in any manner different from the media provided to
customers. The manufacturer supplied the test laboratory with nine 46 by 91 cm (18 by 36 in.) filter
samples. The test laboratory randomly selected three samples and prepared them for testing by cutting
one test specimen of 150 mm (5.9 in.) diameter from each selected sample for insertion in the test rig
sample holder. The sample holder has an opening of 140 mm (5.5 in.) in diameter, which is the
dimension that is used to calculate the face area of the tested specimen.
SECTION 3
DESCRIPTION OF FILTER FABRIC
The Standard Filter Corporation PE16ZU filter fabric is a stratified microdenier polyester non-woven
product for use in fine particulate capture. It is intended to be a low-pressure drop, high efficiency
material.

VERIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE
4.1 QUALITY ASSURANCE
The verification tests were conducted in accordance with an approved Test/Quality Assurance (QA) Plan.2
The EPA Quality Manager conducted an independent assessment of the test laboratory in February 2000 and
found that the test laboratory was equipped and being operated as specified in the Test/QA Plan. The ETS
Quality Assurance Officer and APCT Quality Assurance staff have reviewed the results of this test and have
found that the results meet data quality objectives in the Test/QA Plan. Certificates of Calibration for the flow
meters, flow transducers, weights, high resolution balance, thermometer, and humidity logger are provided in
Appendix B.
4.2 RESULTS
Table 3 summarizes the mean outlet particle concentration measurements for the verification test periods.
Measurements were conducted during the 6-h performance test period. The performance test period
followed a 10,000 cycle conditioning period and a 30 cycle recovery period. Upstream and downstream
particle concentration information for each verification test period is provided in Appendix C.
The average residual pressure drop across each filter sample at the nominal 180 m/h (9.8 fpm) filtration
velocity [for a flowrate of 5.8 m3/h (3.4 cfm)] is also shown in Table 3. This pressure drop ranged from
13.82 to 14.96 cm w.g. (5.44 to 5.89 in. w.g.) for the three filter samples tested. The residual pressure drop
increase ranged from 4.18 to 7.11 cm w.g. (1.65 to 2.80 in. w.g.) for the samples tested.

-------
DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST RIG AND METHODOLOGY
TEST APPARATUS
The tests were conducted in ETS' FEMA test apparatus (Figure A-l). The test apparatus consists of a
brush-type dust feeder that disperses test dust into a vertical rectangular duct (raw-gas channel). The dust
feed rate is continuously measured and recorded via an electronic scale located beneath the dust feed
mechanism. The scale has a continuous readout with a resolution of 10 g. A radioactive polonium-210
alpha source is used to neutralize the dust electrically before its entry into the raw-gas channel. An optical
photo sensor monitors the concentration of dust and ensures that the flow is stable for the entire duration of
the test. The optical photo sensor does not measure concentration. A portion of the gas flow is extracted
from the raw-gas channel through the test filter, which is mounted vertically at the entrance to a horizontal
duct (clean-gas channel). The clean-gas channel flow is separated in two gas streams, a sample stream and
a bypass stream. An aerodynamic "Y" is used for this purpose. The aerodynamic "Y" is designed for
isokinetic separation of the clean gas with 40 percent of the clean gas entering the sample-gas channel
without change in gas velocity. The sample-gas channel contains an Andersen impactor for particle
separation and measurement. The bypass channel contains an absolute filter. The flow within the two
segments of the "Y" is continuously monitored and maintained at selected rates by adjustable valves. Two
vacuum pumps maintain air flow through the raw-gas and clean-gas channels. The flow rates, and thus the
G/C through the test filter, are kept constant and measured using mass flow controllers. A pressure
transducer is used to measure the average residual pressure drop of the filter sample. The pressure
transducer measures the differential pressure across the filter samples 3 seconds after the cleaning pulse.
The pressure drop measurements are averaged as stated in Appendix C, SOP, section 4.4.1High
efficiency filters are installed upstream of the flow controllers and pumps to prevent contamination or
damage caused by the dust. The cleaning system consists of a compressed-air tank set at 0.52 MPa (75
psi), a quick-action diaphragm valve, and a blow tube (25.4 mm [1.0 in.] dia.) with a nozzle (3 mm [0.12
in.] dia.) facing the downstream side of the test filter.
CONTROL TESTS
Two types of control tests were performed during the verification test series. The first was a dust
characterization, which was performed at the beginning of the first verification test. The reference dust
that was used during the verification tests was Pural NF aluminum oxide dust. The Pural NF dust was oven
dried for 2 h and sealed in an airtight container prior to its insertion into the FEMA apparatus. The dust
characterization results had to meet the requirements of 1.0 ± 0.5 |J,m mass mean diameter and 76 ± 10 %
less than 2.5 |J,m to continue the verification test series.
The second control test that was performed was the reference value test. The reference value test is
performed quarterly using the reference fabric and the FEMA apparatus. The reference value test
determines the weight gain of the reference fabric as well as the maximum pressure drop. The results of
the test verify that the FEMA apparatus is operating within the required parameters. The reference value
test measurements must meet the following requirements of weight gain of reference fabric equal to 0.93 ±
0.09 g and a reference fabric maximum pressure drop of 1.84 ± 0.18 cm w.g. to proceed with verification
testing.
A-2
-------
The control tests met the specified requirements for dust mass mean diameter and reference fabric weight
gain. Although the dust was from the same lot as used in all previous verification testing, it exceeded the
maximum requirement for percentage less than 2.5 (.im. While this phenomenon was not fully understood,
it was decided to proceed with the verification tests, based on the rationale that the dust would be at least as
challenging as, if not slightly more challenging than the dust employed in the previous tests. If the dust had
failed to meet the minimum requirement for this parameter, the tests would have been postponed pending a
suitable resolution.
While the reference fabric maximum pressure drop value was under specification, it is felt that the data are
correct as measured and that the test apparatus was functioning properly and accurately. Subsequent to the
reference values tests and prior to commencing the verification test, an extensive review of test procedures,
calibration records, and pre-test calibration check procedures for the test apparatus and associated
instruments was conducted and found to be in accordance with the procedures outlined in the "Test/QA
Plan for the Verification Testing of Baghouse Filtration Products."1 Specifically, each pressure transducer
was calibrated against an oil manometer to within 0.1 in. w.g. at three different points. All pressure drop
transducers were found to be accurate with no adjustment necessary; the dust feed scale calibration was
checked and found to be accurate; all flow meters were checked and found to be accurate within the
specified range.
In summary, based on this review and on our best professional judgment, we saw no reason to disqualify
the data, and a decision was made to proceed with the verification tests.
The results of the control tests are summarized in Table A-l.

The Platinum Resistance Thermometer HOT) serial numbers 419453 and 440026, used to calibrate this thermometer were calibrated with an AC Bridge at a fmimiiin of SOU*
and a constant current of 1 .0 mA. This procedure H based on the technical information contained in NIST Technical Note 1265. Companion points used to calibrate •» ther-
mometer range from a temperature of -t».ooo*C to 4JO.OOO*C. PRT calibration uncertainty is estimated not to e*ceed 0,006*C. The calibration uncertainty of *e AC Bridge
and PUT is estimated not to exceed 0,026*C. This calibration is traceaUe to NIST and is in compliance with MIL-STD 45&62A and ANSI/A5QC Q4002-1M4.
* Observed rnstrunent readings should be increased by positive numbers or reduced by negative numbers indicated by a minus (-) sipi.
