HeidelbergCement AG's Paderborn cement plant has undergone continuous development since it was founded in 1926. Today's advanced methods of cement production have fundamentally transformed this plant's operations.

A multi-national TiO₂ producer had installed a set of standard Aramid bags. Shortly after their installation, the baghouse experienced an ongoing steady increase in pressure drop (dP).

As a result, the service life of these bags was short: just one year. These bags also suffered from problematic intermittent emissions. Learn how Gore helped solve the issues.

A multinational producer of alumina catalyst desired longer pulse jet filter bag life and steadier operation in their dryer bag house. For this trial, they installed GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags on an identical backer.

A carbon black producer sought to improve process stability, production efficiency and bag life in their purge gas operations.
Therefore, the customer removed their incumbent filter bags and equipped the baghouse with GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags.
For the duration of this trial, the cleaning-pulse pressure was reduced from 6 bar to 4.5 bar. All other process parameters were identical to those used for the incumbent bags.

Due to the need for longer life-time of pulse jet filter bags in jet mill baghouses, a leading talcum producer installed three different filter bags. Read the full case history to learn more about the added value of GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags.

A carbon black manufacturer faced a need to maintain filtration emissions to the lowest level possible to ensure regulation compliance and increase energy production  efficiency.

A carbon black manufacturer faced the need to lower dP in the baghouse in order to increase airflow through the reactor – and, as a result, increase production. The manufacturer also wanted to extend the service life of its filter bags to lower the overall cost of ownership.

Energy costs can greatly impact profitability in the steel industry. Learn how a steel plant in Virginia managed to decrease its energy costs substantially while increasing its performance at the same time thanks to the use of GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags.

Steel plant producers must balance productivity with emissions control. Thanks to the use of GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags, a steel recycling plant in South Carolina has improved its overall operating efficiency, with no adverse effects to its regulatory compliance. 

A producer of cement in Mexico was looking to consistently meet maximum kiln feed. The plant selected GORE^® LOW DRAG Filter Bags to replace its existing membrane filters. The bags’ new membrane promotes increased airflow through the baghouse with persistently low differential pressure.
