ArcelorMittal South Africa extends water treatment contract with Veolia Water Technologies<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The thermal desalination plants ensure optimum salinity of the water cycle at the main water treatment plant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Veolia Water Technologies South Africa has been re-awarded the operational and chemical water treatment contract for ArcelorMittal South Africa at its Vanderbijlpark
steel Works operation.<\/p>\n

Veolia has operated the facility\u2019s water-related infrastructure and supplied and managed its chemical dosing requirements since 2014. The awarding of the new contract will see the water treatment specialist operate the plant until 31 October 2021.<\/p>\n

ArcelorMittal South Africa Vanderbijlpark Works is one of the largest inland steel mills in the world, consisting of 60 water systems in nine separate site locations. Veolia will manage all the water treatment facilities, including the dosing of approximately 100 tons of Hydrex\"\u2122\" water treatment chemicals per month. These include chemicals for boiler treatment, cooling water treatment, coagulants and flocculants, antiscalants and disinfectants, which are manufactured at Veolia\u2019s new 6 600 m2 Hydrex\"\u2122\" chemical blending facility in Kempton Park.<\/p>\n

Unique treatment plant<\/strong><\/p>\n

ArcelorMittal South Africa, Vanderbijlpark Works, is required to comply with zero effluent discharge (ZED) standards. This is to ensure its economic sustainability and reduce its environmental impact.<\/p>\n

In order to ensure ZED, it requires the treatment of process effluents to a quality suitable for reuse on various plants. Part of the effluent is treated to ultra-pure boiler feed water quality utilising reverse osmosis and CEDI technology while the remainder is recycled to different non-critical cooling circuits and process systems. The build-up of salinity is controlled by two thermal desalination plants.<\/p>\n

Veolia group is the global leader in optimized resource management. With nearly 169 000 employees worldwide, the Group designs and provides water, waste and energy management solutions which contribute to the sustainable development of communities and industries. Through its three complementary business activities, Veolia helps to develop access to resources, preserve available resources, and to replenish them.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the Veolia group supplied 96 million people with drinking water and 62 million people with wastewater service, produced nearly 55 million megawatt hours of energy and converted 47 million metric tons of waste into new materials and energy. Veolia Environnement (listed on Paris Euronext: VIE) recorded consolidated revenue of \u20ac25.12 billion in 2017. www.veolia.com<\/p>\n
