Safe filtration in chemical production
Highly efficient filtration technologies are essential in chemical production processes in which bulk materials, powders or other particulate educts or products play a role. If filter systems are integrated into the process, aspects such as contamination-free recovery, chemical resistance and easy cleanability are of primary importance, in addition to high separation performance.
Herding® filter systems meet the highest requirements in terms of contamination-free operation, durability and safe handling. Even the finest particle fractions are reliably separated on the basis of pure surface filtration. Lowest clean gas values, absolutely constant operating conditions, highest availability and energy efficiency are the key features of the innovative technology.

Sustainable filtration for all areas
Often even the smallest product contaminants are the reason for rejecting complete production batches with high losses. In addition even slightest contamination in the ambient air of production facilities can cause harmful effects on the health of employees. The motivation for sustainable and efficient filtration therefore has many backgrounds in chemical production. Pure product recovery, easy and complete cleaning possibilities as well as maximumb separation performance are essential quality requirements for filter systems in chemical manufacturing processes. Herding® filter technology allows for maximum availability and safe plant operation in almost all processes that generate particulate emissions.

EXPLOSION PROTECTION
Explosion protection on filter systems
The composition, particle size distribution and specific explosion characteristics of the various particulate materials in chemical production often require a protection concept tailored to the application due to the resulting explosion hazard.
Herding® Filtertechnik provides the user with a wide-ranging portfolio of preventive and constructive safety technology for filter systems. From consulting and selection of the suitable protection concept to the safe and ATEX-compliant design of the filter systems up to their installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The Herding Sinter-Plate Filter offers a unique advantage: It is the only filter element on the market whose rigid body acts as a DustEXZoneBarrier, which means that there is no dust-explosive atmosphere on the clean gas side of the filter system.
Explosion protection concepts
Preventive, primary measures
Avoiding explosive atmospheres by separating processes into sections with and without organic solvents.
Preventive, secondary measures
Avoiding effective ignition sources in filter systems. In many applications, preventive measures are sufficient to safely avoid explosions in the filter system.
Constructive, tertiary measures
Reducing the effect of the explosion event in the filter system
- Explosion-proof design – Herding RESIST
- Raw-gas side pressure relief, e.g. with explosion panel
- Raw-gas side flameless pressure relief with suitable quenching devices
- Clean-gas side flameless and smoke-free pressure relief – Herding FLAMELESS
- Explosion suppression
Herding FLAMELESS
Option of constructive, tertiary measures: Clean-gas side, flameless and smoke-free pressure relief
