Objectives
Abstract Smart Separations is developing a proprietary microfilter technology that can be easily tailored to suit many different needs by varying the pore size in a controlled manner. The regularity of the pore size is a unique selling point in many different markets and applications. New filters based on this technology are highly innovative and potentially highly commercially disruptive. The energy industry is suffering from out-dated processes to clean, purify and filter their exhaust fumes. With this award, the SSL technology will be used to develop filters for particulate removal in energy generating applications such as incineration, gasification and power generation; resulting in lower energy costs and cleaner emissions. The excellent chemical and thermal resistance of SSL’s filters are well suited to applications in both syngas and flue emissions treatment. It is also possible to integrate particulate and chemical removal into a single multifunctional system, so infrastructure and running costs can be dramatically reduced.
