Improve Safety and Operational Reliability

A steel mill was facing recurring challenges with its hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) installations, which had become outdated and were constructed with subpar materials. These issues led to frequent downtime for repairs, significantly affecting the mill’s operations. The outdated systems not only caused delays but also raised concerns about the safety and reliability of their chemical handling processes. As a result, the mill sought a solution to address these problems and improve operational efficiency.

To resolve these issues, USP Technologies (USP) was enlisted to provide a comprehensive solution. USP specializes in chemical dosing systems and industrial applications, and the company was tasked with delivering two turn-key equipment systems to enhance the steel mill’s safety and operational reliability. These systems needed to be reliable, easy to maintain, and capable of improving overall operational efficiency while minimizing downtime. This included the installation of one 1,100-gallon turn-key storage and dosing system (pictured) and one larger 6,500-gallon turn-key storage and dosing system. Both systems were designed to meet the specific needs of the steel mill, ensuring a smooth and safe handling of hydrogen peroxide, which is critical in various industrial processes, including those at steel mills.

In addition to the equipment, USP Technologies provided a range of valuable services. These included remote tank monitoring, product inventory management services, and complete system installation. The company also offered start-up services to ensure smooth integration of the new systems into the existing operations, ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term reliability, and extensive applications support. Safety training was also a key component of the service, ensuring that mill operators were properly equipped to manage the systems safely.

Since installation, the hydrogen peroxide systems provided by USP Technologies have operated without incident, significantly reducing downtime and improving the overall safety and efficiency of the mill’s operations. This has been a key factor in enhancing the steel mill’s production capabilities and operational reliability, ensuring that the facility can continue to meet its industrial demands efficiently.
