Steel Mill Direct Circulating Water
Automatic flocculant ratio dosing lowered turbidity and cut fresh-water makeup by 18%.
Key Metric
-18%
Fresh water
Challenge
High suspended solids with inconsistent manual make-down drove up fresh-water makeup.
Solution
Automated make-down prepares flocculant, metering pumps dose proportional to circulating flow, turbidity closes the loop.
Results
- Fresh water down 18%
- Stable turbidity compliance
- Far less make-down labor
