    FCC catalyst hopper vent gas filtration systems effectively remove catalyst particles from vent gas streams before release to the atmosphere, while recovering valuable product. The systems consist of a filter vessel and blowback accumulator that automatically clean the sintered metal filter elements through pressurized pulses when a pressure differential is reached. The combination of abrasive and oxidative conditions requires advanced filter media and design, including special alloy filters that are resistant to mechanical and thermal shock with low pressure drops and long lifetimes. The fully automated systems provide non-stop operation, high reliability and availability with reduced operational costs.
