CS1400EN.docx May-12 Water Technologies & Solutions case study GenGard* technology ends zinc fouling of ID fan, and related unscheduled outages, at integrated steelmaker challenge Zinc-impaired gas cleaning system causing more downtime, less reliability A large integrated steelmaking plant in the Great Lakes region of North America was experiencing repeated unscheduled outages to cope with zinc-related fouling of its induced-draft (ID) fan. The fan is the heart of the plant’s gas cleaning system, as it creates the negative duct pressure that draws the gases and solids that re
