Abstract: The invention relates to a steel product processing plant, in particular including a rolling line and preferably upstream thereof a continuous casting line including at least one steel product direct cooling or cleaning system, or another system suitable to spray water on the product being processed; and a system for the separation of mixtures, in particular of a muddy nature, including water and scale deriving from said systems, which is provided with at least two pits (F1, F2) for collecting the mixtures, wherein at least a first pit (F1), advantageously provided with a dredging system for continuously removing the scale, is fed by water with coarse scale and at least a second pit (F2) with water with fine scale and wherein said pits each have a maximum overall depth <10 m, preferably even less.

Abstract: The invention concerns a steel plant for the production of long or flat products with a treatment circuit of water deriving from direct cooling and a relative process that envisage that the cooling waters coming from first machinery that produce cooling waters less loaded with scale (with a low content of suspended solids), as quenching units, directly feed second machinery producing cooling waters rich in scale, such as rolling mills, preferably by first passing through at least one collecting tank to then be treated in a succession of water treatment devices such as scale pits, clarifiers, filters and cooling towers to feed the first machinery again.

Abstract: A plant to produce metal products, and a corresponding management method, where the plant includes a production line which includes a plurality of operating units, each provided with respective hydraulic circuits, selected from a melting unit, a casting unit, a rolling unit and a cooling treatment apparatus, and a water supply unit having a tank for the water connected to each of the hydraulic circuits and a plurality of water feed devices configured to feed water from the tank to respective hydraulic circuits.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water treatment line and a process for removing suspended solids, such as ferrous scale, and in particular also oils and greases, from cooling waters of metallurgical or steel processing. A sedimentation tank is included in which there is a lamellar pack filter with inclined sedimentation surfaces comprising a plurality of adjacent, essentially parallel and inclined tubular profiles, in particular with an angle of inclination with respect to the bottom of said tank of 50-65°. The application of the laminar packs in the tank which separate suspended solids, in particular ferrous scale, by sedimentation avoids the use of sand filters or the like.
