Danieli, an international supplier of equipment and services to the metals industry, and Nalco Water, a U.S.-based company under the Ecolab umbrella, have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement. This partnership aims to leverage their combined research and development capabilities to improve water treatment processes within the metals industry.
The collaboration will merge Nalco Water's expertise in chemical and water treatment services with Danieli's experience in industrial technology. The goal is to assist steelmakers and metals producers in enhancing their production processes while minimizing their carbon and water footprints.
This initiative will incorporate digitally enabled technology designed to improve plant performance, reliability, and overall water management. The focus will be on reducing water usage, lowering capital and operational costs, and contributing to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the cooperation seeks to enhance scale control, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the operational lifespan of equipment, ultimately aiming to support more efficient plant commissioning and operations.
The combined efforts of Nalco Water and Danieli are expected to provide ongoing value to the metals industry, with a particular emphasis on cost efficiency and sustainability.
