Cost-effective Cooling

Story Image
CSN is a large Brazilian steel group that prioritizes the rational use of natural resources, including proper management of water. To achieve greater environmental and financial results, CSN partnered with Ecolab to address recurring premature burning on hot blast valves from one of its blast furnaces. Leveraging our 3D TRASAR™ Technology program and Tagged High Stress Polymer technology, CSN reduced fouling and scale in its critical process cooling.
