The cold start-up of an ELEX's new electrostatic precipitator (ESP) at National Cement's (Vicat group) Ragland cement plant in the USA has been successfully completed.

The ELEX ESP, which is responsible for primary dedusting, has a separation area of approximately 7000m2, which is roughly the size of a football field. Depending on the application and requirements, ELEX claims it can also build ESPs with a separation area seven times larger.
