Project BHC – Cement Mill 2 Ducting
CONSULTANT’S REPORT The previous owners of the plant consulted us back in 2012 to look at replacing the ducting for a cement mill which subsequently didn’t go ahead. After the plant was taken over this project was re-visited but rather than use the existing drawings, the customer wanted a neater design which was easier to […]
Project TC3 – Bespoke glass product
Heraeus Quartz first approached Filter Designs back in 2017 to provide them with a Ceramic filter. Heraeus needed to replicate the performance of an older EAF 6/2 filter originally designed some 20+ years earlier by FD’s founder and chairman, Roger Callis. We successfully completed that project in 2017 (for full details see Project HQUK). […]
Project LA – Junkers furnace extraction
The cartridge filter is to purely control the dust emissions from each furnace which at present only run one at a time. The reason for this new filter is to comply with the new dust emissions regulations set out by SEPA. Originally the dust was emitted to atmosphere and the dust was extracted via two […]
Project TCL – Quarry kiln system
As installations go, this is a big one! We were advised by one of our regular suppliers of a requirement by Tarmac, the UK’s leading sustainable building products, for a cement kiln filter system in Wales. Part of a successful tendering process was the requirement to be a member of Achilles. Achilles is a […]
Project FT – Dust Extraction to Wet Cyclone on Brick Manufacturing Plant. World First Brick Cleaning System
FDL had been contacted to look at the existing dust extraction system back in 2014 as the dust in air levels were high and some form of remedial action was required. Initially FDL were contracted on a consultancy basis to assess the existing system and provide detailed reports, specifications, designs and drawings to allow Forterra […]
Project OM – Cartridge Filter System for Magnesium Oxide Processing Plant including Dust Extraction Ducting
Programme OM Ltd located in Gateshead Newcastle, is an existing site. They recently purchased the building off one of their suppliers who supplied magnesium oxide for a range of products. The original enquiry came to Filter Designs via an industry consultant. The magnesium oxide processing plant provides a dusty yet unharmful place to work, hence […]
Project KAT – Small Customised CleanPulse Cartridge Filter for Silo Loading Head
Summary We were contacted by Kerneos to quote for a filter system to be installed over and feeding back a tubular screw conveyor and extracting from tanker filling bellows ensuring any fugitive emissions are captured and put back into the supply source. Available space in the location was limited so a ‘Cleanpulse’ 5 cartridge filter […]
Project LE – Complex Ducting System Design and Installation in Scotland
Problem Working through a third party in the UK, we were invited to provide services to design supply and install various elements of a biomass fired furnace. The plant used a combined heat and power plant and generated electricity via the Organic Rankine Cycle. Filter Designs scope included ducting, fans, chimney, insulation and erection. A […]
