Primetals Technologies supplies new dedusting system to Buderus Edelstahl in Germany

Cleaning capacity is 2.4 million working cubic meters per hour
One of the world’s largest combined primary and secondary dedusting systems
Off-gas dust content reduced to less than one milligram per standard cubic meter

primetalsThe new combined primary and secondary dedusting system from Primetals Technologies has been in full operation at Buderus Edelstahl GmbH in Wetzlar, Germany since February 2015. Following the original acceptance test in the fall of 2014, the system is now also cleaning the off-gases from two new ingot casting plants. With a cleaning capacity of 2.4 million working cubic meters per hour, the dedusting system is among the largest of its kind in the world. It collects and filters the off-gases from all units in the melting and casting sections of the electric steel plant, as well as the exhaust air from the hall. The clean gas dust content is less than one milligram per standard cubic meter, which is considerably less than the legally specified limiting values.
