The SPS machines are not designed to filter the particulates to be of acceptable size, level or concentration, unlike Wet Scrubbers, Electrostatic Precipitators, Diesel Particulate Filter DPF etc.
The reality is that finest and ultra-finest Particulates tends to behave like gas rather than a gas-solids mixture or simply can be transported by vapour. Is the reason why many filtering technologies are ineffective. However, SPS technology is post-combustion system or last stage of production, which results in packaged CO2 or any other gases, without worrying about gas dilution and intrusion processes which more complicated and costly also are not well investigated, that is a setback for many CO2 technology.
The SPS technology consists of single device called Gas Purification machine.
The design of Gas Purification system do not allow the conventional filtration of the gases instead let particulates and molecules to try and find the way out with specific pressure and resistances.
