Dutch term or phrase: Kiezelstenen
Does somebody know if "Kiezelstenen" are used for filtering gas in a factory???? Here comes the sentence:
"Onder de oven wordt het gas via een gasdoorlatende laag kiezelstenen en een buizensysteem afgevoerd."
Thank you,

A process for purifying flue gases by conducting the hot gases through a dry purification stage, and then through a pebble bed evaporator containing pebbles and a liquid. The flue gases then exit the pebble bed evaporator and are washed in a wet washing step. Waste liquid containing dissolved material from the wet washing step is then used as the liquid in the pebble bed evaporator; as this liquid evaporates in the pebble bed evaporator, solid precipitate forms on the pebbles. This solid precipitate is removed from the evaporator and is stored. Vapor from the pebble bed evaporator is condensed and used in the wet washing step. The purified flue gases exiting the wet washing step pass through a filter stage and are discharged.

I just read your first bit. I don't think they are for filtering purposes but they are decorative.

agree  Harry Borsje: although in the above case it doesn't seem like such a fancy filter system (maybe just a support bed for the crucible)
