Advanced Off-Gas Cleaning for the Agglomeration Industry

MEROS® is a dry-type off-gas cleaning system that reduces harmful emissions from the sintering, pelletizing process, or power plants. Agglomeration and power plants, in particular, must navigate increasing regulatory demands on emissions, making effective off-gas cleaning essential. As a highly effective off-gas treatment plant, MEROS® excels in reducing pollutants, including dust, SOX, NOX, PCDD/F, heavy metals, and organic components, enabling plants to align with stringent standards while boosting operational efficiency.

MEROS® offers a comprehensive solution for cleaning sinter and pelletizing flue gases, utilizing a series of advanced treatment steps to remove harmful pollutants. Its high-performance filters are designed for durability and efficiency, providing long-term reliability.

As a modular system, MEROS® adapts to different plant requirements. Thanks to the modular design of the MEROS® system, different additives such as sodium bicarbonate or hydrated lime for desulfurization, depending on local conditions and the availability of materials can be selected. This flexibility optimizes performance across various industrial settings. The system's innovative combination of additive injection and filtration enhances its effectiveness, positioning it as one of the most effective technologies available on the market.

More recently, MEROS® has also been successfully implemented for treating power plant off-gases at steel plants, further expanding its environmental impact.
