DISCUS emissions control technology improves BACT and lowers LAER
New on the DISCUS OpenRaft™ — not available with any other aluminum IFR:

- Liquid-mounted seal: exclusively from DISCUS is an armored liquid-mounted seal (LAER)
Recent technology — and included on the DISCUS OpenRaft™ (BACT):
- Welded seams (zero loss)
