How Can We Help You?
Our Holistic Systems Approach Delivers Improvements for Your Cement Operation:
- Dramatic increases in filter life by correct filter application and maximizing operational parameters
- Elimination of production bottlenecks
- Improved ambient dust control
- Significant increases in filter life and life predictability
- Energy consumption reduction via compressed air usage reduction and lowering of system pressure
- Outlet emissions reduction
Characteristics of Contaminants
Combining our advanced emissions control technology with our proven application expertise in cement, we understand which solutions will deliver the results you want in your unique operation. We use ePTFE membrane when one or more of the following conditions exist:
- Submicron or sticky dust is present
- High humidity
- Frequent startup/shutdown
- The process has been altered from its original design configurations
- Operating conditions are not compatible with those specified during baghouse construction
- Production requirements have been increased
- Upset conditions occur in the process, resulting in excessive maintenance cost
Emissions Control Solutions for the Cement Industry
Technology has evolved, and there are alternatives to the conventional filtration media used in cement production facilities. Common challenges encountered across the cement industry include increased process ventilation, higher filtration efficiency, and reduced downtime caused by filter bag failure. Filtration options for the process-relevant filtration areas in a cement plant are readily available to address these challenges. Analyzing each specific application and evaluating every opportunity before upgrading filtration media or fabric filter units is essential.
Moving from traditional bag and cage filters to a pleated filter element reduces particulate matter emissions by as much as 40%, helping your plant meet stringent emissions control regulations while benefitting from improved production levels and lower operating costs. Lower pulse pressure and fewer pulses to clean reduce energy consumption to 8 million kWh per year in a typical cement plant.
We are the original manufacturer of BHA PulsePleats®, and our innovation was created to ensure the upgrade from conventional filters required minimal retrofit to your existing baghouses.
Your Industry is Tough
Cement companies face extremely tough compliance and regulation requirements in addition to manufacturing issues resulting from fine, abrasive dust and older filtration equipment. Everyday dust collection and filtration challenges we help tackle include fine particle emissions that lead to particulate bleedthrough, aggressive designs and high filtration velocities that can cause filter failure, high differential pressure/loss of airflow, poor cleaning, and extra drag across filters from primary dustcake, and abrasion failure.

Baghouse Services for Your Cement Plant
We have worked with our crews for 10+ years, and they know our standards and requirements to ensure our products continually outperform. We have had zero recordable accidents and zero MSHA or OSHA citations during our service jobs for over five years. Everyone on our team is MSHA, and OSHA trained and highly experienced in installing all types of baghouse filters.
We help ensure your next outage is a success because:
- You will work with a dedicated, knowledgeable project manager for your specific job
- Our service crews can handle installations or full change-outs
- We also offer technical advisors to oversee local crews, troubleshooting, and inspections
Only one purchase order is required to have your baghouse completely refurbished. Having one company responsible for all aspects of the change-out reduces the hassle of coordinating bags and crews.
