Water Consumption
Relatively large volumes of water are used to make steel, although the amount of freshwater that we use is difficult to quantify accurately. To reduce our overall water consumption we employ a wide range of techniques, such as recirculating cooling systems and effluent recycling.
Corus Tubes’ operations at Hartlepool use large volumes of water in contact cooling systems. These generate oil contaminated water that requires treatment and disposal. Through collaboration with the technical experts at Hartlepool Water, Corus Tubes invested during 2007/08 in a new state-of-the-art water treatment plant. This investment has allowed a significant proportion of the cooling water to be treated and recirculated, thereby reducing our usage of valuable local water resources.
