Advantages
Low capital cost
Ability to operate at high
temperatures
Low maintenance
requirements
Can handle liquid mists or
dry materials
Eases re-use or disposal
Needs relatively small space
for installation
Disadvantages
Low efficiencies for small
particles < 1um
High operating costs due to
pressure drop
Unable to process sticky
materials
