Context and Challenges

A food processing plant was experiencing a decline in the efficiency of its bag filters. Fine dust and particles were no longer being filtered effectively, which led to poor air quality and potential health risks for the workers. Standard visual inspections did not identify any visible issues, and the root cause of the problem remained unclear.

Why We Were Called Upon

Bioscan was called in to thoroughly inspect the bag cyclone using our advanced bag filter leak detection technology. This advanced technology allowed us to detect internal defects, such as refracted cracks, in the welds and measure their depth. During the baghouse filter inspection, we identified microcracks and weak areas that were allowing small air leaks, compromising the filtration system’s effectiveness. 

This is How We Completed a Thorough Inspection

To perform industrial bag filter maintenance intervention, our rope access technicians, qualified in both inspection and repair, used ropes to access the complex and hard-to-reach areas of the bag filters, without the need for scaffolding. This bag filter troubleshooting access method allowed for a complete inspection, even in the tightest, most vertical spaces. All work was performed autonomously, with safety measures implemented by our specialist rescue technicians, ensuring the safety of the operators throughout the process. 

Solution We Offered

Repairs were carried out on-site by our specialised welders, following the strict standards of the food industry. After repairs, a re-inspection of the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) was performed, and a roughness test ensured that the surface finish was below 0.8 μm. This control validated the quality of the repair. 

Outcome

After the intervention, the filtration system was restored to optimal efficiency, and the client was able to resume production in a safe environment that met air quality standards. A detailed report was provided, including before-and-after photos of the repairs, along with a certificate of compliance validating the quality of the work.
