STEEL INDUSTRY — SNF Solutions
Cleaner intake water for smooth plant operations.
Steel plants rely on large volumes of clarified water for cooling and process use. Raw water brings high turbidity, silt, and organic impurities which overload downstream systems. SNF Coagulants + Flocculants rapidly remove suspended solids, enhance filtration efficiency, protect heat exchangers, and improve overall water reliability — ensuring stable and uninterrupted steel production.
Efficient removal of oil, scale, and heavy solids.
Blast furnace wastewater contains iron fines, hydrocarbons, and scale that cause oily emulsions and clogging in clarifiers. SNF Emulsion Breakers + Anionic Flocculants improve oil–water separation, reduce sludge load, enhance treatment plant efficiency, and ensure compliance with environmental discharge norms — keeping water systems cleaner and safer.
Clearer water from slag and metal-rich effluents.
SMS (Steel Melt Shop) wastewater carries slag particles, metallic contaminants, and refractory fines that are difficult to settle. SNF High MW Anionic Polymers help achieve faster settling, superior sludge compaction, and cleaner overflow water — improving recycle efficiency and protecting downstream equipment.
Higher dryness → lower disposal cost.
Clarifier sludge in steel plants contains very fine iron particles and high moisture levels, making disposal costly. SNF Cationic Polyacrylamides significantly boost dewatering performance on filter presses and centrifuges — reducing sludge volume, transportation cost, and environmental footprint while increasing recoverable water.
Protect cooling systems from scale & corrosion.
High-temperature recirculating water systems promote scaling, deposition, and microbiological fouling. SNF Dispersants + Antiscalants prevent mineral buildup, maintain heat-transfer efficiency, and extend cooling tower life — improving operational reliability and reducing energy consumption.
