In November 2001 a new air filter will be commissioned by Affilips. Similar to the other filter installations already in operation, the new plant is a bag filter with injection of adsorbents. The installation has a ventilation capacity of 100000 m3/h and will be used to capture dust and fume from the third foundry. Cleaned air from all of the filters is discharged through a newly contructed chimney 25m high and 2,4m in diameter. This type of filter installation has a well established track record for the efficient removal of dust and fume from foundry emissions.

Having already obtained the ISO 9002 certificate for its quality management system in 1992, and being the first company in Tienen to have achieved that award, Affilips received the ISO 14001 certificate for its environmental management system in December 1999.
Producing master alloys using recycled materials where appropriate, Affilips has contributed positively towards a better environment for several decades. Many important environmental investments as well as the registration and the control of all kinds of internal and external environmental factors and the commitment of all personnel to a healthy environment in and around the company, have contributed to receiving this ISO 14001 certificate. By this achievement, Affilips is able to maintain it's position among the most progressive European metal processing companies.
