Two series of fire experiments were conducted in the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) to test technologies for possible use in the filtration of soot from the Building 224 fire research exhaust. The first experimental series used two large surface area pleated cartridge filters to capture particulate in the gas phase. The second series of experiments employed a wet scrubbing system. The experiments showed that neither technology provides adequate performance. The results showed that the first system rapidly clogged and the pressure drop across the filters did not efficiently recover to its pre-test value when pulsed. The particulate removal efficiency of the wet scrubbing soot filtration system was inadequate.SootFire preventionResearchLaboratoriesSoot.Fire preventionResearch.Laboratories.Hamins Anthony1388864Bundy Matthew1388865Cleary Thomas268512Hamins Anthony1388864National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.).Engineering Laboratory.NBSNBSGPONBSBOOK9910709596203321Feasibility studies for technologies to effectively scrub soot from small-scale fire experiments3439778UNINA
