Baghouse Lime Pre-Coating Powder

Baghouse Calcium Hydroxide Pre-Coating Powder Oveview

Baghouse Lime/Calcium Hydroxide Pre-Coating Powder is a finely milled Ca(OH)₂ precoat material applied to filter bags before system startup to create a uniform, porous protective layer. It enhances dust release, prevents blinding, stabilizes differential pressure, and extends filter bag service life.

Key Selection Criteria

  • Particle size: 99% < 0.09 mm for uniform coating
  • Chemistry: ≥94–96% Ca(OH)₂ purity
  • Dust characteristics: Sticky, hygroscopic, chlorinated, corrosive, or ultrafine dust
  • Air-to-cloth ratio: Works across low- to high-A:C designs
  • Service life: Reduces chemical attack and abrasion for longer bag lifespan
  • Industries: Cement, power generation, steel, biomass, waste-to-energy

Best-use scenarios include:

  • Cement, steel, and biomass boilers
  • Power plant ESP/Baghouse hybrid systems
  • High-moisture, sticky, fine-particulate environments
  • Systems requiring low initial ΔP and controlled dust cake formation

Omela Filtrations delivers stable, high-reactivity lime pre-coating powders engineered for consistent layer formation, reduced emissions, and maximized filter bag longevity.

INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS

Engineered to protect filter bags during system startup and early operation, Baghouse Lime/Calcium Hydroxide Pre-Coating Powder creates a stable, porous insulation layer that prevents blinding, reduces chemical attack, and ensures low initial differential pressure. Ideal for high-dust, corrosive, and high-moisture environments requiring consistent filtration stability.

Cement, Lime & High-Dust Baghouses

Cement, Lime & High-Dust Baghouses

Cement plants, lime kilns, and clinker lines generate extremely fine, sticky, and alkaline dust that easily blinds filter bags during startup.This results in longer bag life and more predictable system performance, especially in preheater towers and high-dust processing zones.

Steel Plants, Metallurgy & Foundry Exhaust Systems

Steel Plants, Metallurgy & Foundry Exhaust Systems

Steel and metallurgical exhaust contains corrosive fumes, acidic gases, and ultrafine particulate, which can aggressively attack filter bag fibers. Ideal for electric arc furnaces (EAF), sinter plants, foundry melting, and secondary metallurgy filtration.

Waste-Incineration, Power Generation & Chemical Processing

Waste-Incineration, Power Generation & Chemical Processing

Incineration and chemical plants face extreme pH variations, high moisture, and corrosive acid gases (HCl, SO₂, HF). Commonly used in municipal waste incineration, biomass boilers, coal-fired units, and chemical-reactor dust collection.
