FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUPPORTING THE STEEL INDUSTRY IN TURKEY
Donaldson Membranes and Filterteks invited nine Turkish Iron and Steel Company representatives to a one-day seminar highlighting the benefits of efficient bag house filtration.
The engineering delegates were delighted to learn about the level of support offered by Donaldson Membranes. The Donaldson Membranes technical team provide assistance with manufacturing requirements, installation support, commissioning, recommend routine maintenance advice as well as troubleshooting.
Having an enviable resource of more than twenty years of dry filtration experience, Donaldson Membrane is able to provide a thorough and educated evaluation of system processes to best determine the most suitable Tetratex filter media solution.
Tetratex filter media can enhance the performance of a fabric filter by utilising surface filtration technology as opposed to traditional depth filtration methods. Tetratex is a proprietary expanded microporous PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane, manufactured solely by Donaldson Membranes. It is laminated to a variety of base substrates to provide a complete range of media including woven and felted textile media for conversion into all types of filter bag as well as pleatable media for cartridges style elements.
The unique structure of Tetratex ePTFE membrane filter media prevents the penetration of fine dusts into the supporting substrate and facilitates excellent cleanability due to their non-stick characteristics.
The iron and steel market in Turkey is large and set to grow further. Currently Turkey has a production capacity totalling 40.4 million tons of steel a year, servicing automotive, household durables and machinery & equipment sectors. With the growing economy in the country, demand for the industry is increasing, by working in partnership, Donaldson Membranes and Filterteks can help to increase particulate collection efficiency, reduce emissions, reduced energy consumption, and reduce bag house pressure, which leads to increased productivity, reduced downtime and more importantly help to increase profitability.
