For this client, we implemented SOLAFT® PrimaFlow™, a revolutionary combination of proprietary filter bag, filter cage, and customized filtration media. It is the next generation of Extended Surface Bags (ESBs), building on our SOLAFT® StarBag™ legacy.
The aerodynamic PrimaFlow™ design allows for lower internal gas flow resistance, reducing pressure drop along the filter bag length.

ChallengeA European Aluminium smelter was looking to increase potline amperage while increasing gas flow from the pots and lowering filter Differential Pressure (DP).
Following an earlier failure of standard design Extend Surface Bags (ESBs) to meet the facility’s operational targets, our team was brought in to explore other options. We carried out a trial with SOLAFT® PrimaFlow™ technology to enhance results.
After a successful trial, we were able to quantify the following benefits of SOLAFT® PrimaFlow™ for the aluminium client, as compared to the existing standard ESBs:
32% reduction in filter DPThe reduction in pulse air pressure and pulse cleaning frequency yielded ~75% reduction in compressed air in the Gas Treatment Center (GTC) operation.
