Micronics Engineered Filtration Group Announces Strategic Alliance with W.L. Gore & Associates

The new GORE^® low drag filter bags deliver quantifiable performance advantages for air pollution control (APC) systems in the steel industry based on 4 key parameters:

• Increased baghouse airflow
• Increased fan energy efficiency (decreased energy consumption)
• Increased bag filtering efficiency
• Increased bag life

“We are excited to partner with leading U.S. baghouse services providers, C.P. Environmental and United Process Control, to accelerate the introduction of our game-changing filtration technology to the Steel Industry,” according to Louis Raath, Product Manager, W. L. Gore & Associates. “Our low drag filter bags deliver significant and already demonstrated economic advantages to steel plant operations – such as baghouses associated with Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) – and we look forward to collaborating with Micornics to help steel plant customers realize these benefits,” Raath added.

Both Gore and the Micronics Engineered Filtration Group provide advanced filtration solutions to a broad range of industries including steel, energy-from-waste, industrial coal-fired boiler cogeneration, aggregates/cement, chemical manufacturing, and a host of other industries.

GORE^® low drag filter bags are exclusively available in North America to customers of Gore, CPE, and UPC, with expert installation provided by Micronics’ baghouse mechanical and maintenance services teams, the leading providers of mechanical and related services to APC installations in the steel, foundries, and metal processing industries in North America.
