ERG's Kazchrome Invests US$15 Million in New Air Purification System at Aksu Ferroalloys Plant in Kazakhstan
ASTANA, Kazakhstan, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kazchrome, a subsidiary of metals and mining company Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), has installed a new, modern air purification system at the Aksu Ferroalloy Plant of JSC TNK Kazchrome in Kazakhstan.
The installation, a gas purification complex for smelting furnace No. 42, can capture 99.5% of the dust generated during production.
The equipment has been supplied by global leaders in cleaning technologies, Germany's Siemens and the Czech Republic's ZVVZ, and represents an investment of seven billion tenge (around 15 million USD).
The system includes more than 4,000 bag filters and cleans up to 950,000 cubic metres of air per hour, working with the finest dust particles. Over the course of a year, it has the capacity to trap around 16,000 tonnes of dust that would otherwise be released into the environment.
According to Mr Musabek Makashev, Director of the Aksu Ferroalloy Plant, "By implementing ERG's environmental strategy and investing in modern waste gas purification technologies, we strive not only to comply with standards, but to exceed them by introducing the best international practices."
