Eurocement’s Katavsky Cement has installed a new ESP from Czech company ZVVZ Enven. The electrostatic precipitator will reduce emissions by 33%.
The existing equipment could not offer any further improvement in emissions levels, which is an important factor in Eurocement’s operations.

This latest ESP is on kiln no. 4.
