Gasification and pyrolysis are advanced processes that transform carbon-rich materials such as coal, petroleum coke, biomass, municipal waste, wood chips, and automotive tires through high-temperature reactions. Gasification occurs in a controlled atmosphere with limited oxygen, while pyrolysis happens in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production of syngas or synthetic natural gas. This syngas serves as a more energy-efficient fuel option than direct combustion of the original feedstock, delivering a higher calorific value. Additionally, syngas can be converted into methanol, hydrogen, or utilized in the production of synthetic fuels via the Fischer Tropsch process.

Various downstream processes, including catalysis, further yield chemical feedstocks for intermediate products and essential end-use materials such as fertilizers. The filtration of solid waste generated during gasification and pyrolysis can occur at different stages employing various methods, with gas filtration options including the use of filter elements or cyclones before the heat exchanger at elevated temperatures of 800°C to 1,000°C, after the heat exchanger at mid-range temperatures of 320°C to 650°C, or through extensive cooling with wet scrubbing systems where temperatures drop below 250°C.

Porous Metal Filters brings extensive expertise in filtration systems utilized in IGCC gasification processes for coal and petroleum coke. Additionally, we specialize in the design and manufacturing of filtration and separation equipment for applications such as PFBC, biomass, and pelletized municipal solid waste. Our permanent metal media filtration solutions deliver exceptional performance, ensuring both high separation efficiency and excellent cleanability. Our systems are engineered to operate effectively across a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions, consistently outperforming alternative technologies.

PMF’s SINTERPORE® sintered wire cloth and sintered metallic fiber filter media are designed to meet the challenges for gasification filters faced by today’s chemical process industry. PMF gasification filters and filter cartridges are ideal for new installations or optimum retrofit to existing filter housings and systems. The gasification filters serve equally well for liquid or gas service.

Porous Metal Filters Gasification Filters are used in many industries and appliactions including Fuel Cells and Re-Forming, Gasification, Noise Abatement, Power Generation, and Renewable Energy.

Features and Benefits of SINTERPORE® Gasification Filter Cartridges

The main benefits of sintered metallic gasification filters are their high heat resistance and ability to be cleaned and re-used. This results in significant cost savings over other types of filter materials.
All-welded construction and sintered media results in excellent mechanical strength and a consistent pore size under all conditions.
The filters are available in a wide range of micron sizes and pore structures that can be tailored to specific applications. Media pore size, structure and metallurgy can be further customized for the most demanding applications.
Metallic filters feature low pressure drop and back-wash/pulse cleaning capabilities.
Any standard arrangement of end connections and seal configurations can be supplied. Custom connections are available upon request.
Optimization of these points have a tremendous impact on capital and operating costs in any process. PMF’s fundamental understanding of filtration concepts, technologies, quality control and manufacturing, as well as the end users basic filtration needs will make that optimization possible.
