Outokumpu offers stainless steel solutions for advanced potable water purification and sewage treatment, bringing inspiration to these industries through novel thinking.
Stainless steel helps solve some of the utmost concerns of governments and municipalities throughout the world – delivering potable and consumable water to citizens, agriculture and industry, while taking care of the environment. Outokumpu eases their tasks with optimal products and services that take away much of the pressure when it comes to water infrastructure.
Outokumpu is the Number One producer of duplex stainless steel in the world and has brought many benefits for desalination with its novel duplex concepts over decades of active involvement in that industry. These concepts have helped make desalination more affordable and provide long, maintenance-free lives of the infrastructure.
Outokumpu offers the same proven capabilities for water purification and sewage treatment as for desalination. Here duplex stainless steel offers equipment manufacturers and owners cost-efficiency and longevity from water storage tanks to floodgates.
Owing to its high strength, duplex stainless steel allows for reductions in plate thickness and, consequently, in weight. Thus Outokumpu helps lower the high investment costs of plants. With duplex, Outokumpu also contributes to a better environment through the use of less material including molybdenum and nickel, less energy needed for production and transport, and less welding.
Our innovation, technology and support, combined with novel, refreshing thinking about infrastructure, help provide for basic needs of communities in a sustainable manner for a better environment.
