In 1997, a plant modernization program was initiated to improve fuel efficiency and environmental performance and two older wet kilns were permanently shut down. In 1999, a new 3,000 tons per day kiln line with a 5-stage precalciner was commissioned. A Solios (formerly Procedair) TGT baghouse was built and high performance filters were required to meet efficiency and environmental targets.

Plant installed new baghouse and wanted to obtain optimum performance with long-term reliability. GORE® High Durability Filters were used in new installation, met all performance requirements, and provided 10-year performance life. Plant wanted to maintain high system productivity when choosing next set of filter bags.

Plant installed new baghouse and wanted to obtain optimum performance with long-term reliability. They also wanted high system productivity with low pressure drop to save on energy costs.
