Case Study: GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags Optimize Operating Efficiency While Meeting Regulatory

A steel recycling plant in South Carolina replaced standard fabric filters with GORE® LOW DRAG™ Filter Bags and saw differential pressure drop from 9.6 to 7.4 in w.g., airflow rise from 758K to 800K ACFM, and emissions decline—boosting efficiency without sacrificing compliance.

Case Study: GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags Help Achieve Maximum Kiln Feed Rate

Learn how GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags helped a cement plant boost airflow, lower differential pressure and increase kiln feed rates—enabling higher clinker production and greater efficiency in the baghouse system.

Case Study: GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags Cut Energy Costs & Boost Plant Performance

See how GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags helped a Virginia steel plant slash energy costs by over $400 000 per year while boosting airflow, reducing pressure drop and enhancing emissions control in their baghouse system.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags, Reducing Differential Pressure in Carbon Black

One of the most important metrics for a baghouse is differential pressure (dP). A consistently high dP indicates blinding of the filter media and/or poor release of dust cake during cleaning, typically leading to lower airflow (throughput), throttling back of production rates and shorter bag life.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags, Lower Differential Pressure and Higher Air Flow in a Carbon Black Purge Gas Baghouse

A carbon black producer sought to improve process stability, production efficiency and bag life in their purge gas operations.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags used in Silicomanganese Ferroalloy Production, Emalahleni, South Africa

After 33 weeks of testing, the GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags continued to provide approximately 26 % more gas flow than either of the other test compartments at comparable pressure drops, with fewer emissions overall.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags Increase Airflow and Lower DP in Lead Processing

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags incorporate an entirely new class of membranes that acts as a true surface filter in fume and fine powder applications. The membrane provides excellent particulate capture efficiency, dust cake release and filtration performance.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags in Silicomanganese Ferroalloy Production, Emalahleni, South Africa

Transalloys (Pty) Ltd currently uses five submerged arc furnaces to produce silicomanganese (SiMn) at a capacity of 180,000 tons per year. Transalloys was looking to expand its production capabilities, requiring more capacity for air pollution control.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags for Low Emissions, Lower Pressure Drop, Longer Bag Life and Stable Operation in TiO₂ Production

A global TiO producer using standard Aramid filter bags faced rising pressure drop, short one-year service life, and intermittent emissions. GORE® Filter Bags offer a proven solution, delivering longer life, lower dP, and reliable emissions control in demanding TiO applications.
