Danieli WTP supports JSW Steel’s hot-strip mill expansion

Danieli has signed a contract with JSW Steel for the design and supply of a water-treatment plant (WTP) serving the Phase-3 expansion of JSW’s 4.5-MTPA hot-strip mill at the Dolvi Works, Maharashtra, India.

The new unit will supply cooling water to the mill, caster, and tunnel furnaces of the thin slab casting and rolling operation. With a total cooling-water circuit flow rate of approximately 58,000 m³/h, the installation will be among the largest water-treatment plants executed by Danieli.

The WTP will feature DanFilters™, Danieli’s patented filtration technology, designed for deep water filtration at high flow rates. The compact plant layout will mean efficient space utilization, a key requirement at the Dolvi site, and promote high operational reliability and simplified maintenance.

Danieli Automation has designed the plant automation systems to provide advanced control and monitoring for stable and efficient operation.

The entire scope of the project—covering design, engineering, supply, and advisory services—will be executed on a fully indigenous basis, supporting local value creation and technological self-reliance.

The water-treatment plant is scheduled to enter operation by December 2026.

Danieli has supplied more than 255 water-treatment plants worldwide for DRI plants, minimills, meltshops, and casting and rolling facilities producing both long and flat products.
