ELAZIĞ – CEMENT FACTORY FILTER TRANSFORMATION PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Transforming Cement Production for a Cleaner Future

The Elazığ Cement Factory Filter Transformation Project demonstrates how traditional heavy industries can successfully transition toward environmental sustainability while maintaining production efficiency. Cement plants, by nature, generate significant dust and emissions during operations. This project modernized the Elazığ facility’s outdated filtration systems into state-of-the-art, eco-friendly technologies aligned with EU environmental directives and ISO standards.

KDT Industry contributed by supplying fabric filters, raw gas channels, chemical storage systems, and heavy-duty structural steel fabrication, enabling the plant to achieve superior emission control, operational reliability, and long-term compliance.
