Ceramic filter manufacturing in Northern Ghana : water storage and quality control
… Region of Ghana, began the construction of a ceramic pot filter (CPF) factory near the city of Tamale. By 2011, the factory had the molds, supplies, and kiln necessary for large-scale filter production, but needed to both increase its own water storage capacity, and to implement quality …

Health and water quality monitoring of Pure Home Water's ceramic filter dissemination in the northern region of Ghana
… product is a pot-shaped Potters for Peace-type ceramic water filter, locally known as the Kosim filter. This study used household surveys and water quality testing to monitor the success of their filter program. This work builds upon the household surveys and water quality testing done by Rachel …

Finite element modeling of flow through ceramic pot filters
… Tamale, Ghana that manufactures and distributes ceramic water filters. While many ceramic filter factories manufacture flowerpot-shaped filters, PHW has transitioned from the flowerpot shape, to a paraboloid shape, and finally to a hemispheric filter shape. The PHW factory conducts flow-rate …

Durability testing of ceramic candle filters in pressurized-fluidized bed combustion environments
Ceramic candle filters were subjected to 500 hour high temperature/ high pressure (HTHP) exposure tests to examine their extended durability in simulated coal pressurized-fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) environments. The candle filter materials analyzed included two SiC filters, one with clay …

Fine-scale modeling of failure in an adhesive layer
Rigid ceramic filter media are used for removing particulate matter from gas streams at high temperatures. As the particulate matter (dust cake) collects on the surface of the filter, the filtration pressure increases; to maintain an economical operation the dust cake must be removed periodically …
