Primary metals activities are some of the most water-intensive industrial sectors in the world. The management of water and wastewater in steel mini mill industry and mining is essential to operations.
During the last few years, the majority of steel plants have managed to significantly reduce freshwater usage per ton of steel through water recycling and process optimization. The high water quality standards and wastewater regulations required for water circuits have remained unchanged, leading to increased demand for professional water treatment.
