This extensive programme, reported on annually in the country sustainability report, has included the installation of state of the art hybrid filter dedusting technology at the sinter plant in Dabrowa Gornica, lowering dust emissions from the sinter stack by over six times; and modernization of the dedusting system of the Zdzieszowice coke oven batteries no. 5 and 6, reducing the concentration of dust emitted to over four times lower than the maximum value required by law.
