ETS Pressure Drop and Filtration Performance Testing

1. Looking for ways to:

• Lower your operating costs?
• Reduce your emission?
• Optimize your Baghouse System?

2. Considering different fabric options?

3. Looking for low cost alternatives to using a pilot plant on your dust and media alternatives to explore filtration, pressure drop and cleaning options? 

ETS is the only independent testing laboratory in North America employing test apparatus and procedures that comply with the following internationally recognized test standards:

• ASTM D6830-02 "Methods for Characterizing the Pressure Drop and Filtration Performance of Cleanable Filters"
• VDI/DIN Standard 3926 "Testing of Cleanable Filters"

In addition ETS is the only fabric testing laboratory that has been qualified to provide testing to verify fabric performance in the EPA/ETV "Verification of Baghouse Filtration Products" program.
