a system for cleaning at least one filter in a baghouse and an associated method for providing the system . the at least one filter separate a dirty gas chamber from a clean gas chamber , and filters at least one substance from a gas . the system includes a supply of compressed air and a blowpipe to direct the air at the at least one filter to dislodge a collected amount of the at least one substance from the at least one filter . the blowpipe has a cross - sectional flow area through which the compressed air flows . a valve controls provision of the compressed air . the valve has a cross - sectional flow area though which the compressed gas flows . the cross - sectional area of the valve is smaller than the cross - sectional area of the blowpipe to provide for air pressure at the valve to be greater than air pressure at the blowpipe .
