Understanding Bag Leak Detection Systems (BLDS)

Bag Leak Detection Systems are essential tools for monitoring particulate matter (PM) emissions from fabric filter devices, commonly known as baghouses. These systems are designed to detect bag failures or degradation of filter media by monitoring PM levels in the exhaust stream. A well-functioning BLDS not only provides early warnings of potential issues but also enables real-time monitoring, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Auburn FilterSense: Leading the Way in BLDS Technology

The EPA’s best practices document underscores the importance of Auburn FilterSense’s innovative BLDS solutions, which are featured prominently throughout the guide.

  1. Early Leak Detection and Compliance Enhancement (Page 1 & 3): Auburn FilterSense’s BLDS systems are praised for their ability to provide early warnings of leaks and impending bag failures. By alerting operators at the first sign of a problem, these systems help reduce the time and resources required for repairs, ultimately enhancing compliance with environmental regulations. The early detection capabilities of Auburn FilterSense’s BLDS can prevent minor leaks from escalating into significant violations, safeguarding both the environment and operational efficiency.
  2. Efficient Maintenance and Resource Savings (Page 3): The document highlights Auburn FilterSense’s BLDS as a proactive tool for maintaining baghouse efficiency. By isolating leaks in multi-compartment baghouses, Auburn FilterSense’s systems allow for targeted maintenance, minimizing downtime and reducing costs. This proactive approach not only improves operational efficiency but also supports long-term sustainability goals by ensuring that emissions remain within permissible limits.
  3. Quantitative Emission Measurements (Page 9): Auburn FilterSense’s BLDS systems are also recognized for their ability to provide quantitative measurements of PM emissions. When properly correlated with stack tests, these systems can deliver accurate data on PM concentrations, enabling facilities to maintain stringent control over their emissions. This feature is particularly valuable in industries where precise monitoring is critical to regulatory compliance.
