SR22  Otimização de Processos    Titulo: BAGHOUSE SYSTEM DESIGN BASED ON ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION   Resumo : IN THIS STUDY, A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH FOR BAGHOUSE DESIGN BASED ON ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION IS DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO PURSUE THE BEST COMPROMISE BETWEEN SURFACE AREA, PRESSURE DROP AND FILTRATION TIME FOR A GIVEN APPLICATION. FABRIC FILTERS DESIGN PARAMETERS, IN FACT, ARE CLOSELY INTERRELATED AND AFFECT SYSTEM COSTS IN COUNTERACTING MANNERS, LEADING TO POSSIBILITY OF COST MINIMIZATION. IN THE PAPER, AT FIRST DETAILED COST FUNCTIONS ARE DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN AN OVERALL ECONOMIC MODEL. SUCCESSIVELY,THE RESULTING OBJECTIVE FUNCTION IS ADOPTED IN ORDER TO DEFINE THE OPTIMAL FILTER DIMENSIONS AND OPERATING PARAMETERS AS A FUNCTION OF THE STREAM CHARACTERISTICS, ON THE BASIS OF TOTAL COST MINIMIZATION. FINALLY, EXAMPLES OF OPTIMIZED SOLUTIONS ARE PRESENTED WITH REFERENCE TO A SET OF DIFFERENT INPUT DATA CONSIDERING PULSE-JET TYPE FABRIC FILTERS. KEYWORDS: FABRIC FILTER, ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, OPTIMIZATION.     Autores : Caputo, Antonio C.
