Technology for clean air and energy efficiency

The new Scheuch SEF 10.0/5.6×2-11 electrostatic precipitator system replaces the outdated and ageing multi-cyclone system and exceeds the current, strict emission requirements of the Thai government.

With this investment in advanced filter technology, Advance Fiber, a Thai manufacturer and distributor of wood-based panels, shows that sustainability and economic success can complement each other perfectly. In addition to the significant reduction in emissions, electricity consumption has been considerably reduced, which brings the company both ecological and financial benefits.

By installing this advanced ESP (electrostatic precipitator) technology, Advance Fiber is leading the way in the industry and setting a new standard in the region, which is facing increasingly stringent environmental regulations. While many companies are still looking for solutions, Advance Fiber has already set the course for a more environmentally friendly future.

High-tech with precise planning

However, the success of the project is not only down to the customer’s commitment, but also to Scheuch’s technical expertise. The electrostatic precipitator system significantly reduces dust emissions and was specially adapted to the conditions at Advance Fiber. The project was anything but simple: space at the plant was very limited and a detailed 3D scan of the existing system was required in order to integrate the new filter technology with a perfect fit. The production and transport of the large-format raw and clean gas pipes (5 x 2.5 metres), which had to be specially prepared for overseas transport, was particularly challenging. The excellent coordination of all parties involved with the Thai Scheuch team ensured that the plant could be commissioned on schedule, which meant minimal disruption to Advance Fiber’s production.

Future-proof and easy to maintain

The new separation system not only impresses with its environmental friendliness, but also with its ease of maintenance and durability. With this future-proof solution, Advance Fiber has not only fulfilled the current environmental requirements, but is also optimally prepared for future challenges. The success of this collaboration gives reason to hope that further production lines will be modernised at Advance Fiber in the future. In Scheuch, Advance Fiber has a reliable partner at its side that is not only a technological leader, but also has the expertise to respond flexibly to the specific requirements of the Asian market.
