Filtrabit signs pre-agreements with three clients across different sectors

Filtrabit has signed three preliminary agreements for dust control solutions, with two applications in ship unloading and one in material side stream refining.

The planned ship unloading applications are for clients in different industries and concern the handling of various industrial minerals and ore concentrates with distinct characteristics. Unloading high-dust-density materials from ships is a challenging scenario for dust control due to variable wind conditions combined with large volumes of material needing to be moved quickly.

The material side stream refining application is in the steel industry, where significant CO2 emissions reductions can be achieved by better use of the many material side streams available. The refining of these side streams includes many processes like crushing and sieving, that produce airborne particles.

These pre-agreements include the basic engineering phase for the complete dedusting solution in the area of application. The purpose is to make the process as easy as possible for the customer. Leveraging Filtrabit’s domain expertise in dedusting allows the customer to concentrate on their core processes while achieving a risk-free implementation.

Basic engineering solves the crucial parts of the design challenge using modern tools like laser scanning and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. As a result, the customer can utilize their trusted, local partner network for the detail engineering, sourcing and contracting in a smooth and cost-effective process.

Basic engineering provides the necessary technical and economical information for the final decision-making on the project level – a well-refined understanding of the implementation project, its schedule, budget and technical execution. It’s conducted together with the customer and selected engineering partners. It includes but is not limited to the following:

• Selecting and modeling the location for dedusting units
• Specifications for structural design work
• Routing for ventilation ducting
• Modeling possible modifications needed for hooding and conveyors
• Piping & Instrumentation Diagram
• Plans for how the collected dust is handled
• Automation and electrical design specifications
• Other necessary documentation for detail engineering

Dr. Kim Fagerlund, CEO of Filtrabit:

”We’re seeing a clear shift. Dust extraction isn’t just about environmental responsibility anymore; it’s a smart economic move. Our technology’s versatility is proving itself across industries, and these new harbor and circular economy basic engineering agreements are just the first step. We’re engineering the future of dust management, focusing on both collection and valuable reuse. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to unleash the full potential of our innovative solutions.”
