Since the 70s Danieli has established a division that specializes in environmental protection. Today Danieli Environment offers a full range of proprietary technologies for air pollution control, water treatment, energy saving. solid waste recovery and noise reduction.

The green manufacturing emphasizes the concept of technological integration between machineries with environmental solutions. Less consumption of natural resource and zero emission of wastes are the bases for the full and effective safeguard of the environment. Auxiliary plants such as water treatment plants, fume treatment plants, heat and waste recovery systems become the crucial environmental technologies imprinting the eco-green performances benchmark over the metal production.

To produce green metal means to take in account the green footprint by optimization of natural resource use and avoid emission of pollutants and the GHG on the environment. It means to account the use of water, use of energy, discharge of waste, air pollutants, minimize the noise and electromagnetic dispersion, offer the safety working place for the humans and discharge less GHG per unit of production.

Zero Liquid Discharge

Danieli integrated water systems treat and recycle more than 90% of the process waters.
With the application of ZLD Danieli ensures the total recycling of waters without any further liquid wastes to be discharged to the environment.

Effective advantages are recognized for those industrial productions located at highly polluted environments with severe regulation on discharge of wastes.

Water Reuse – Give water a second life

Danieli promotes and offers dedicated water treatment plants for the reuse of wastewaters instead of intake fresh waters for the metal production. We have the target to transform the wastes from a source of pollution to an economic value, fulfilling with the concept of circular economy and sustainability of the production.

Advanced biological treatments combined with the modern membrane technologies make possible to reuse of urban sewage wastewaters for industrial purposes in those geographic areas where the water drought restricts the social and economic development.
