Gore Invests in New Low Emissions Technologies for Metallurgical Industries
11/13/2013 - W. L. Gore & Associates is increasing its technical development and market focus activities in the steel, lead, ferroalloy and related metallurgical industries to address current and upcoming requirements of U.S. EPA NESHAP regulations.
The inventor and leading supplier of ePTFE membrane filtration is developing new low emission technologies to remove mercury and SOx and to control NOx, dioxin/furan and particulate matter (PM2,5). Gore has also reshaped its distribution structure and is focusing on a direct-to-market distribution strategy, with full and direct sales and technical support.
Field tests prove emission data below legislative requirements
Gore has worked closely with producers in the steel, lead, and ferroalloy industries to better understand their needs and partner on new technology trials. The trials have focused on both fitness-for-use and economic viability of the new technologies in steel producing electric arc furnaces, lead recycling applications and other related processes.
