High Temperature Filter Technology
UltraCat High Temperature Filtration
Ceramic filters have been a staple of air pollution control for decades. Ceramic filters were originally manufactured from refractory grains such as alumina and pressed into a candle shape – a tube with a closed, rounded bottom and a flanged top.
The high temperature filters used in the UltraCat are very different in their design, service life, and multi-pollutant functionality. They are also robust, and self-supporting without filter cages. Tri-Mer filters control SO2, HCl, NOx and particulate (PM) in a single highly efficient system, and can be adapted to handle mercury and dioxins as well.

How they work
Tri-Mer high temperature filters start as a slurry of refractory fibers and are vacuum formed into shape. They are very lightweight, approximately 90% open, with much lower pressure drop.
Characteristics
Filters are manufactured in various lengths; the 3-meter (10-ft.) filters have been in highest demand by industry. The filters are placed in a housing similar to a baghouse.
Tri-Mer high temperature filters are chemically inert and corrosion-resistant, as would be expected from ceramic materials. Filters are manufactured in two varieties:
- standard non-catalyst ceramic filters
- ceramic catalyst filters
Tri-Mer’s catalyst filter is identical to the standard filter, except that it has nano-bits of SCR catalyst embedded in the filter walls for NOx removal, Organic HAPs, CO, and dioxin destruction.
The catalyst particles in ceramic catalyst filters are micro-porous, and due to their small size, they catalyze the gas phase reactions without diffusion and restriction (i.e. nearly 100% utilization of the catalyst's intrinsic activity). This is an important advantage, and in stark contrast to pellet or monolithic catalysts. In industrial environments, conventional catalyst types typically operate with 5-15% catalyst effectiveness in the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH3).
Replacement ceramic filters are a quick phone call (rather than a months-long boat ride) away. FLKCAT ceramic filters, exclusively from Tri-Mer Corp. are robust and self-supporting. They simultaneously control SO2, HCl, NOx and particulate, and can be adapted to handle mercury and dioxins as well. Learn more
