Dust Control and Steel Mills: Baghouse Solutions

The Micronics Engineered Filtration Group excels in the manufacture of high-quality, high-performance filter media for a host of dry filtration applications such as Air Pollution Control (APC) and the reliable reduction of emissions for steel mills, non-ferrous metal production, and foundries. The Micronics Engineered Filtration Group has multiple state-of-the-art filter media manufacturing facilities in North America that allow us to provide you with just the proper filter media for optimal dust removal in metallurgical production facilities.

Choosing the correct filter media for your steel operation is critical to minimizing downtime and optimizing baghouse performance!

Learn more about some of our Steel Industry Baghouse Solutions below.

In steel production, particulate matter (PM) can be generated in many parts of the operation including Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and Ladle Metallurgy Furnaces (LMF). The characteristics of the particulate will vary based on the process; proper media selection is critical to achieving long filter media life, baghouse performance, and environmental compliance.

EAF & LMF Filter Media Requirements

For EAF Baghouses & LMF applications, specific requirements for filter media include:

• Resistance to hydrolysis
• Resistance to sparks
• Abrasion resistance
• Capture of fine particulate matter
• Durability and reliability through the cleaning cycles
• Particulate Matter (PM) compliance

The Micronics Engineered Filtration Group and its trusted brands – AFT, CPE, UPC, NFM, SFM, and Filterfab –  offer a range of fabrics and finishes to reduce the effect of sparks, provide resistance to high-temperature environments, provide resistance to acidic gases, and provide longer bag life. Ask us about our ePTFE membrane laminates, spark-resistant, and acid-resistant (AR) finishes.

For the steel industry, we offer:
