Focus on water management
At FILTECH 2024, GKD will showcase state-of-the-art mesh systems for water management. The company’s revolutionary filtration and separation technologies were expressly created to fulfill the needs of the process industry and municipal water management sector. Among the
The revolutionary CAPTURION technology, which filters microplastics, is one of the highlights. With the use of this technology, storm sewers are able to collect a significant amount of tire debris that would otherwise be released into the environment by rainwater runoff due to abrasion.
Special mesh for hot gas filtration
The GKD booth will feature hot gas filtration mesh technology in addition to water and microplastic filtration solutions. The TRIMETRIC and VOLUMETRIC filtration meshes, which are especially designed for industrial dust and exhaust gas filtering in the automotive sector, are the main subject of this discussion.
