Problem

In 2014 Ahrens was looking to expand and upgrade their current storage and handling facilities. Mainly cement facility supplied by ships utilizing a shore-based piping system delivering the product to silos or a storage shed.

  • Supply (1) new self-standing Mideco FP15A Flat Pulse Dust Collector for the South end of receiving shed
  • Supply (2) new Mideco FP15A Flat Pulse silo top Dust Collectors for the storage silos
  • Supply (1) new Mideco ECP20 Economy Dust Collector for truck out-loading area
