2016 was another great year for Ethel
Smith Intertek in particular we are
happy to have helped many customers
worldwide to not only meet compliance
but maintain it with their mission money
securing cleaner air and outstanding
performances we tried to see how it
would look if we could imagine a single
fabric filter consisting of all process
filters we've delivered in 2016 this is
the result the filter bag would have to
be around 130,000 bags with an average
length of 7 meters the filtering cloth
would be enough to cover around 80
football fields we would organize it in
112 chambers closing one for maintenance
of course wouldn't be a problem it would
be 40 meter width and 400 meters long
the thermal expansion to 200 Gries
Celsius would be point 5 liters if we
would be so patient to align all the
bags in cages one by one starting from
our offices in Copenhagen when laying
the last bag we would have arrived in
Paris preventing it from polluting our
atmosphere if we ever forgotten the bags
40 million tons of dust would have
reached the sky to give you an idea of
the amount of dust we're talking about
if the dust was in a snowstorm it would
have covered in areas widest thing or
Thailand with 10 centimeters of dust and
to remove all this one-year dust storm
it will require 1.3 million cement
trucks aligned one by one they would
reach the other side of the world
exactly half of the Equator it's a good
thing that our installations have these
bags
and then our bags are leaked our
performance is limited the dust that was
emitted protecting our environment for
us in the future generations that will
inhabit this planet we are proud to
continue delivering an even bigger
filter at the end of 2017 enriched with
the continuous improvement and constant
efforts by our teams to help our
customers optimize their production even
within the strictest of emission limits
