UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with Austria-based Kappa Filter Systems (Kappa) on the sales and marketing of dedusting systems for the iron and steel industry, as well as on their research and further development. 

The cooperation between Kappa and Primetals Technologies will initially focus on dedusting systems for electric arc furnaces (EAF), minimills and secondary dedusting systems. The portfolio is scheduled to be widened step by step. The two companies have also agreed to investigate the possible applications of a new large fabric filter system technology in other metallurgical plants. These include sintering and pelletizing plants, the primary dedusting of basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) processes with specific supplementary conditions regarding the temperature and composition of the gases to be cleaned.

Primetals Technologies stated that the new plant concept of the two companies will reduce considerably dust emissions, noise emissions and energy consumption.
