News & Articles
When you are as innovative as Glosfume, there's always plenty to talk about. Here's the latest news from the leaders in hot gas filtration systems and high temperature ceramic air filters.
Rushlight Awards Winner 2010
May 2011 Glosfume’s 21st Birthday
Glosfume awarded the 2010 Rushlight Air Pollution Technology Award
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers and staff who have enabled Glosfume to win this award.
REACH is to promote the use of alternative methods for the assessment of possible hazardous properties of substances. In response Glosfume have started manufacturing elements from soluble fibre. With the use of different binder formulations we have been able to form a stronger element with a lower pressure drop. The elements are on test and should be available mid 2011.

Tower Hamlets in London installs the first Biomass Boiler with a Ceramic Filter in an AQMA
Particulate Emission level measured at 0.81mg/m3

Ceramic Filters for Biomass Wood Fired Boilers
Sheffield Council were the first council to install district heating system with Glosfume Ceramic Filters. Two boilers, each rated at 500kW, supply 340 flats. Flue gas testing is to be carried out and it is expected to be less than 3g/GJ particulate, 90% below the current limit.

Richard Burns Foundation, Glosfume sponsored Steve & Joe for the 2009 Beaujolais run. This time they collected over £5,000!
Thermal Oxidiser Filter
HTMC6(400) to control emissions from a thermal oxidiser, operating at 350oC sodium bicarbonate dry scrubbing system removes HCl and other acid gases. NOx emissions are removed by a patented catalytic convertor fitted after the ceramic filter. The process is used to destroy waste producing process steam for use within the factory.

Ceramic elements in operation
From January 2007 to 2009 Glosfume spent its time concentrating on R&D to offer a ceramic filter system for the biomass wood fired boiler industry

Fabrication Shop Set Up
In July 2009 Ray, a coded welder, joins Glosfume to set up a small fabrication shop to fabricate Biomass Filters from 20kW to 1MW. Pulse jet MIG welding is used to produce welds of the highest standard. As normal each part of the filter is laser cut to ensure accuracy between elements and reverse jet clean down system.

Glosfume Filter Systems Longevity
In July 1999 Glosfume supplied a HTMC6(400) to Nottingham Metal Recyclers Ltd. In 2002 N.M.R closed down, the filter was then sold to Burnard Metals Ltd, then to McIntyre Machinery and then to Factory Yard. Eleven years later an Irish company bought the filter and refurbished it which is now as good as new. The filter is on the back end of a gasifier.

USA High Temperature Filter Head
October 2010 Glosfume designed a filter head capable of operating at 550oC, manufactured from specialised heavy duty plate. Two heads were built handling a gas flow of up to 8,500Am3/hr.

November 2008, John Surtees Foundation, Glosfume sponsored Steve and Joe for the Beaujolais run, they raised nearly £5,000!
Awards a grant to Glosfume, Ashwell and Nottingham University to develop a wood fired boiler capable of reducing NOx emissions.
Biomass Filter Update
- Further filters delivered to Scotland for use with wood chip biomass fired boilers. These filters have been sent as complete packages fully finished including control panel, fan and duct work.
Irish Biomass Filter Fully Commissioned
- 2 POD ceramic filter for 2.1MW biomass fired steam boiler now fully commissioned.
- Operation of filters with biomass has resulted in particulate emission levels below 2mg/m3, with reductions of over 90% in PM10 and PM2.5.
New Gas Analyser Filters Launched
- Production of filter tubes for gas analysers for analysis of emissions onboard ships.
- Delivery of the sixteenth new design dross press filter.
Biomass Filters Now Operational
- Launch of our new web site, which we trust, is more user friendly and more informative.
- Biomass filter delivered and commissioned on a 250kW hot water wood chipped fired boiler in Scotland. The filter is designed to reduced PM10 and PM2.5 particulate emissions. Emission results are awaited with interest.

- Slovenia filter, commissioning and testing takes place in October 2008. The plant will be the largest and first Biomass/Waste boiler in Europe to be fully compliant to both WID & BREF.
