As India ramps its fight against air pollution under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), industries using biomass boilers face new challenges in reducing particulate emissions. Businesses need efficient and compliant solutions with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) mandating emissions below 50 mg/Nm3.
Steamax bag filters use a multi-stage filtration process to ensure effective removal of particulate matter:
- Filtration Stage: The exhaust gases from the biomass boiler pass through a series of filter bags made from high-performance fabric. As the gases pass through, particulate matter and dust are trapped in the bags’ fibers. Steamax employs fiberglass bags with a PTFE membrane and a micron rating of 5 microns for efficient cleaning and long life.
- Clean Air Release: As the particles are captured, the cleaned air exits through the filter, meeting the strict emission standards set by the CPCB. The reduced dust load also decreases the abrasive wear on the ID fan, extending its life and improving overall performance.
- Dust Collection: The pulsejet system purges air, effectively self-cleaning the bags to maintain efficiency. The trapped particulate matter stays within the filter bags until the pulsejet purges the air and removes the dust. The RAV (Rotary Air Valve) installed at the bottom also ensures that dust is periodically eliminated, keeping the SPM (Suspended Particulate Matter) levels low. This air-sealed design prevents leakage, ensuring no additional load is placed on the ID fan, thereby maintaining continuous emission control without compromising system performance.

Now that we’ve explored how Steamax bag filters operate let’s explore why they are indispensable to the biomass boiler industry.
- Compliance with CPCB Norms: By adhering to the CPCB’s strict standards, industries can avoid regulatory penalties while ensuring cleaner emissions. Steamax bag filters make compliance simple and reliable, helping companies maintain their operational licenses and improve their environmental footprint.
- Reduced Air Pollution: Steamax Bag Filters efficiently capture PM2.5 and PM10 particles, significantly reducing harmful emissions. It ensures industries meet NCAP pollution targets and improve local air quality, contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment.
- Sustainable Operations: Biomass boilers provide a renewable energy alternative, but their emissions can offset environmental gains. Steamax Bag Filters mitigate this by capturing delicate particulate matter and other pollutants, ensuring biomass boilers operate within emission standards. This filtration technology helps maintain environmental compliance and enhances the sustainability profile of industrial operations.
- Cost Savings and Longevity: Reducing dust accumulation in boiler systems minimizes abrasive wear, extending equipment lifespan, improving efficiency, and lowering maintenance costs. Industries using our bag filters have reported up to 15% reduction in annual maintenance expenses, making the system both sustainable and cost-effective.
Industries are now required to adopt reliable emission control solutions to meet the stricter pollution control norms under NCAP. Steamax’s pulsejet bag filters offer an efficient and durable method to reduce emissions from biomass boilers, ensuring compliance with CPCB regulations by maintaining SPM below 50mg/Nm3. These filters not only ensure regulatory compliance but also deliver long-term cost savings of up to 15% annually, making them a compelling choice for industries.
