E-1 has no internal moving parts to wear or replace. Chrome can be recovered from both the gas stream and the filter. E-1 is simple to install and operate and is available in single units to capacities to 41,500 cfm. Installation can be accomplished by Tri-Mer or by plant personnel. E-1 is constructed of Type 1 PVC, the material recommended for high chrome concentrations.
Systems are also available in FRP overlay.
The estimated minimum service life of the filter is five years under continuous use. The system is projected to provide ten years of continuous service before primary maintenance is required.
