Environmental Protection Facilities

Steelcorp has always been proud on being a responsible and responsive corporate citizen. Steelcorp believes that industrialization and progress should not exact a price on the environment. Reason why, aside from providing world class steel products for the country, part of Steelcorp's mission is to promote a clean and healthy environment.

Steelcorp employs a wide array of fully operational and state-of-the-art pollution control facilities. This is to ensure that all its manufacturing processes are safe for the communities that surround the plant and as part of its compliance with the Environmental Compliance Certificate issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Such facilities are :


Acid Regeneration Plant

Building a world class steel mill meant ensuring that it is armed for ecological preservation and friendliness. Thus, the plant has incorporated its own Acid Regeneration Plant into the Pickling Line. This allows the plant to regain up to 99% of the used acid and recycle it for use in the pickling process. At the same time, it allows Steelcorp to prevent any toxicity to escape in the environment.


Waste Water Treatment Plant

The Waste Water Treatment Plant facility utilizes different processes such as filtration, oil filtration, oil seperation, chromium reduction, hydroxide precipitation and coagulation, sludge settlement, PH adjustment and port aeration to ensure that water quality coming out of the plant meets all standard parameters required by DENR.


Automatic Twin Demineralizer

Steelcorp's Automatic Twin Demineralizer supplies the plant's water requirements at a capacity of 608 liters per unit. It operates fully on an automatic controlled system via an electronic programmable logic controller installed in the main control panel board.

 

The Steelcorp plant is energy efficient since it recovers heat energy from the Non-Oxidizing Furnace through its Waste Heat Boiler.
