Commercialization of Hybrid Bag Filter® (HBF) Made of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with Capability of Decomposing Dioxins and Reducing Environmental Impact
Ahead of their competitors, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and MHI Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. have developed and made commercially available a V-Ti catalyst-supported bag filter called the Hybrid Bag Filter® (HBF). HBF simultaneously enables, desalination, desulfurization, dust removal, denitrification and removal of dioxins (by means of filtration, adsorption, and catalytic decomposition). Recently, we have succeeded in developing the filter cloth base material of HBF from conventional glass fiber to polytetrafluoroethylene, and verified the high level of performance when used in an actual unit.
