ZERON®
THE FUTURE OF PULSE JET FILTERSZERON – A FULLY INTEGRATED FILTER BUILDING
Zeron is a large fabric filter system developed andinternationally patented by Kappa Filter Systems, Steyr,Austria. The solid concrete panel structure allows allfunctional areas to be integrated compactly into one
filter building for the first time – from the dust-separation
to the clean gas stack. This leads to an optimal air flow
pattern without turbulance or vortex, and the result is anextraordinary low total filter resistance. This considerabely
reduces the amount of energy required for operationin comparison to conventional bag filter systems. Dustemissions can be almost completely eliminated, and thenoise emission level significantly reduced. The concrete
panel structure increases the local value add, andsubstantially reduces both the logistics costs and theassembly times. The modular design facilitates future
expansions, if required.
COOPERATION WITH KAPPA
In future, Zeron will be jointly offered by Primetals
Technologies and Kappa due to their cooperationagreement. Their initial focus is on dedusting systems
for electric arc furnaces (EAF), minimills and secondary
dedusting systems. Jointly they will expand the applicationof the Zeron technology to cover all metallurgicalproduction units from sintering to ironmaking tosteelmaking.

„Zeron is a large-scale dedusting system that can be
introduced in urban areas. On the outside, it looks just likea regular high-quality industrial building. On the inside, itcleans up to 1.3 million cubic meters. Its efficiency and low
energy consumption speak for themselves.“			Klaus Krüger			Managing Director, Kappa Filter Systems

DUST AND SOUND-PROOF• Essentially reduced sealing lengths due to big panel sizes• No escape of dust and no entry of moisture thanks towear resistant special sealing material• Maximized noise reduction due to concrete panels

Modern and forward thinking design

MAIN BENEFITS• Integration of all filter components in one
building depending on individual requirements• Significantly reduced dust and noise emissions• Considerably reduced energy consumption

ECONOMIC• Integration of individual filter components in one
building – from raw gas inlet to clean gas stack outlet• Minimum pressure loss due to the flow optimized filter
design• Optimized power consumption of ID fans thanks tominimum pressure loss
• Optimized raw gas distribution to the filter chambers• Increased local value add• Modular design facilitates future expansion• Minimum pressure loss
• Reference plants clean volume flows from
150,000 to 1.3 million working cubic meters
per hour (Bm³/h)• Modern design that is not recognizable as anindustrial filter plant

ARCHITECTURAL• Best accessibility• Weatherproof• Durability• Not recognized as an industrial filter plant• Modern and forward thinking design• Perfect advertising surface
