The largest Russian pipe company TMK Group has stated that its Russia-based Seversky Tube Works is about to complete all the start-up and commissioning work for the filtering facility of its FQM (Fine Quality Mill) rolling mill at its Pipe-Rolling Department 1. The FQM is expected to be launched in October this year.
The construction of the filtering facility began in November 2012. The new facility is actually a closed cycle and is meant for providing zero-discharge re-circulating water supply to the mill. The filtering facility will be responsible for both the initial water treatment and the finishing filtering procedures. During the water treatment stage, water is purified and treated before it is supplied to the mill. The drainage from this stage gets recycled through finishing filtering facilities, which means nothing is dumped into the nearby River Severushka.
