What they're showing

HOVAL's stand at Smart Energy ’09 will host the first public showing of the innovative new Hoval CF ceramic filtration system, capable of removing virtually all particulate matter from the flue gases of biomass boilers (down to PM2.5). As such, the CF addresses concerns in some urban areas about particulate emissions from biomass boilers, while exceeding the requirements of air quality regulations due to be introduced in 2010.

The Hoval CF can be fitted to any make of biomass boiler, including retrofit projects where space is available and, crucially, removes much smaller particles than can be removed with the cyclones that are usually used for this purpose. The CF also provides a low maintenance solution, as the ceramic filters are self-cleaning and particulate waste is collected in the unit for easy disposal.
