How Coromax® enabled an exceptionally low emission guarantee for the sinter waste-gas ESPs at JSW’s Sinter Plant 5 in India. Why sinter-strand dust challenges ESP performance Achieving ultra-low particulate emissions in steel sintering is no easy task. Sinter-strand dust contains extremely fine particles with moderate electrical resistivity – a demanding combination for electrostatic precipitators (ESPs). […]
At its Svappavaara pelletising plant in northern Sweden, LKAB wanted to increase production. Approval came with one condition: dust emissions also had to come down. The existing flue-gas cleaning equipment dated back to 1969, so LKAB needed more than a simple replacement. It needed a solution that could meet tougher emissions requirements, deliver high long-term […]
Airnord is the new home of FLSmidth’s former Air Pollution Control business. In this article, Airnord specialists explain how decades of experience with electrostatic precipitators, gas cleaning and cement applications continue under the Airnord name – with an increased focus on emissions performance, plant productivity and carbon capture integration. Airnord is the new home of […]
Airnord has decades of experience with electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) for demanding pulp and paper applications. In this article, Marcelo Tempesta, Managing Director of Airnord’s Latin American operations, examines why ESP performance is increasingly linked not only to emissions compliance, but also to mill economics, process efficiency and long-term operational resilience. When people talk about the […]
ESP performance for China’s largest recovery boiler In 2021 when Liansheng Pulp and Paper decided to set up China’s largest kraft pulp mill, the company chose a path defined by high standards, proven technology and long-term confidence. On a project of this scale, emissions control is about more than meeting requirements. It is about choosing […]
ESP upgrades for a leading paper plant in China Pulp and paper plants have to control dust emissions from three sources: the recovery boiler, the power boiler and the lime kiln. Ash removal on a recovery boiler is particularly difficult because the particulates are small and sticky. And if the recovery boiler has to be […]
Airnord’s ESP installation at Bahrain Steel continues to achieve particulate emissions below 3 mg/Nm³ after more than 20 years of operation, despite a 15–20% increase in production. Bahrain Steel is a leader in the production of the world’s best-quality iron ore pellets for direct reduction and blast furnace steelmaking. Located in the heart of the […]
