The document discusses new filter media and an in-situ cleaning method for filter bags. Needle felts made from microfibers like polyester, PAN, PPS, polyimide or PTFE are used to manufacture filter bags and pockets. A new water jet system can produce filter fabrics without needle channels, resulting in higher efficiency and strength. The document also describes a pulsation cleaning system that cleans filter bags in-place without removing them from the unit, lowering downtime and waste. Case studies show the method successfully restored permeability in used filter bags.
