KARS – CEMENT FACTORY FILTER TRANSFORMATION PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Cleaner Production for a Sustainable Future

The Kars Cement Factory Filter Transformation Project demonstrates how traditional industries can embrace environmental responsibility and sustainability without compromising production efficiency. Cement plants are among the most energy-intensive industries, often generating high levels of dust and emissions. This project focused on transforming the existing filter systems of the Kars Cement Factory into modern, eco-friendly solutions that align with EU and international environmental standards.

KDT Industry played a key role in this project by supplying fabric filters, raw gas channels, chemical storage tanks, and heavy-duty steel fabrication, enabling the factory to achieve cleaner operations, improved efficiency, and long-term compliance.

Challenges and Solutions

The Kars Filter Transformation Project faced multiple challenges:

1. High Dust Load – Cement production produces extreme volumes of fine particulate matter.
2. Continuous Operation – Filtration systems had to function 24/7 without downtime.
3. Aging Infrastructure – Integration with existing plant systems was required.
4. Regulatory Pressure – Strict compliance with environmental laws was mandatory.

KDT Industry’s Solutions:

• Delivered fabric filters with automated cleaning systems to ensure continuous performance.
• Installed modular ducting and gas channels for easy integration with existing equipment.
• Applied wear-resistant coatings to extend lifespan.
• Designed prefabricated steel components for faster installation, reducing plant downtime.

These measures allowed the plant to achieve world-class emission control performance.
