Filtaquip Case Studies

The Client’s Smelter consists of a Furnace that produces an off-gas which is very harmful to the environment, so a Scrubber is used to capture the dust, which forms a slurry, which is then pumped into a slurry Storage Facility. However, this handling method presents further environmental challenges. Filtaquip offered a solution to convert the Scrubber slurry into a dry filter cake, which is then recycled back into the Furnace, enabling the valuable metals to be recovered. As the
solids have commercial value, the Client’s overall revenue was improved, whilst at the same time significantly reducing their Environmental impact.
