Filter technology for the steel industry
Cooling and process water treatment IN STEEL PRODUCTION
In steelworks, cooling and process water circuits work under extreme loads. Scale, sinter and abrasive particles clog your nozzles and heat exchangers and increase the risk of unplanned production stops.
If differential pressures rise in the circuit, downtimes can cost over €100,000 per hour. Automated filtration stabilizes your processes, reduces maintenance costs and protects your capital-intensive system components in the long term.
Industrial water treatment
In steel production, both process water and cooling water must be continuously filtered and treated.
Different loads require specialized filtration solutions.
In steel production, process water is constantly circulated in rolling mills, continuous casting plants and cooling systems. Scale, metal particles, slag and fines get into the water with direct effects on your systems, nozzles and heat exchangers.
Typical challenges
- High solids load in circulation
- Abrasive metal particles
- Fluctuating particle sizes
- Blockage of nozzles and pipes
- Increased wear of pumps
Without reliable process water filters, the risk of production interruptions and unplanned maintenance intervals increases.
Requirements for industrial process water treatment
Effective industrial process water treatment must:
- continuously handle high volume flows
- be capable of automated backwashing
- work stably even at high temperatures
- be designed to be low-maintenance and robust
Our water filter systems for process water treatment enable efficient solid-liquid filtration and contribute to the stabilization of closed water circuits.
Cooling water plays a central role in temperature control in high-temperature processes in your steel production. Impurities in the cooling water circuit impair heat transfer and can lead to corrosion or deposits in the long term.
Risks of untreated cooling water
- Reduced cooling capacity
- Deposits in heat exchangers
- Increased energy consumption
- Corrosion damage
- Shortened system service life
Targeted cooling water treatment protects critical components and stabilizes thermal processes.
Requirements for cooling water filters in the steel industry
An efficient filter for cooling water must:
- reliably separate fine particles
- process high flow rates
- clean automatically
- be designed for continuous industrial loads
With integrated cooling water treatment, you can reduce downtimes and lower your operating costs in the long term.
