Solutions for Primary Metals

In primary metals industry, water quality is critical for operational efficiency, product quality and environmental regulations.

P&WC Specialties offers a comprehensive portfolio of water treatment and dust control chemicals designed to meet the most demanding process and environmental challenges.

We offer broad solutions for water supply treatment. No matter the influent water quality, we have the solution to ensure that the water entering your plant is the quality and quantity you need so you can focus on your processes.

Our technologies include the most advanced specialty chemicals for influent water treatment, like inorganic and organic coagulants HyCogTM, flocculants HyFlocTM, metals removal MetKleenTM and filter-aids. 

Water is in integral part of metals processing. We offer a variety of ways to improve your production results by taking care of the systems that directly impact your metals processing. We offer water treatment solutions such as:

  • Boiler water treatment – BoilGardTM  prolongs the life of your physical assets and maximize process productivity by improving the water quality to your boiler system and monitoring TOC to help avoid corrosion in the boiler system.
  • Cooling water treatment – CoolGardTM is the most advanced cooling water treatment solutions on the market, designed specifically to enhance and maximize your production output and heat transfer efficiency.  
  • Gas scrubbing water treatment – ScaleShieldTM product line is designed to function in high solids, high calcium and high pH environments. Coagulants and flocculants are tailored for optimum solids removal and sludge dewatering. 

Reverse Osmosis is commonly used in steel industry for producing  high quality water, but membrane elements are high-value assets that require proper protection. Inadequate treatment leads to fouling, scaling and membrane degradation, reducing performance and water quality while increasing operating costs.

MemKareTM solutions are engineered to protect membranes, prevent flux loss and pressure-drop increases, maintain salt rejection and extend membrane life.

Regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship are the drivers of successful wastewater treatment operations in steel industry. Fines, damaged public perception and even potential interruptions to production operations for non-compliance are possible consequences of poor wastewater management and must be avoided.

P&WC Specialties’ solutions for the treatment of wastewater for recycle/re-use and discharge combine expertise with  world-class chemistry – HyCogTM, HyFlocTM , FoamSolvTM, MetKleenTM

Dust released from material handling operations can be a major challenge in integrated steel mill, affecting the emission and sensitive of neighbors.

Our dust control solutions fall under DustSolvTM and include chemical foam, binders and crusting agents.
