Steel & Metal Air and Dust Filtration Solutions

The steel and metal industries generate intense levels of airborne pollutants, including fine dust, metal particles, and fumes, which, if uncontrolled, can lead to environmental contamination, health risks for workers, and equipment damage. Our air and dust filtration systems are tailored to handle these high-demand environments, capturing emissions from melting, smelting, casting, and finishing processes. Engineered to withstand high temperatures and particulate loads, our solutions improve air quality, enhance regulatory compliance, and protect workforce well-being, ensuring a cleaner, safer production environment.

Dust Filtration Process in the Steel & Metal Industry

The electric arc furnace is used for the manufacture of constructional steels, high-grade steels, and stainless steels. Furthermore, it is used for the manufacture of carbide and synthetic crystals.

Dust removal plants for electric arc furnaces fully extract and clean the primary waste gases of the arc furnace, as well as any secondary waste gases produced during fusing, run-off or during loading and deslagging. The waste gases that form in the pan furnace, during material handling and in other connected plants are extracted and treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

In steel and metal processing, common filtration systems include baghouse filters, electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), wet scrubbers, and cyclone separators. Baghouse filters use fabric bags to capture dust particles, while ESPs use electrical charges to remove particulates from exhaust gases. Wet scrubbers remove pollutants by introducing a scrubbing liquid, and cyclone separators use centrifugal force to separate dust from gas streams. The choice of system depends on factors such as particle size, gas temperature, and specific process requirements.

Filtration systems enhance air quality by effectively capturing and removing particulate matter and pollutants generated during metal processing. By reducing emissions, these systems help facilities comply with environmental regulations and standards, thereby minimizing their environmental impact and promoting a safer workplace.

ESPs offer high efficiency in removing fine particles, achieving up to 99% efficiency, which is particularly beneficial in steel manufacturing where flue gas emissions often contain fine dust particles. They are capable of handling large gas volumes and operate effectively at high temperatures. Additionally, ESPs have relatively low pressure drops, resulting in lower energy consumption during operation.
