Nucor awards Russula a contract for the new Brandenburg plate mill water treatment plant
Nucor Corporation awarded Russula a contract to supply the water treatment plant engineering and electrical equipment for the new 1.2 MTpy plate mill under construction in Brandenburg, KY, USA. This is the single, largest capital investment undertaken in the history of Nucor and ranks as one of the largest-ever for the state of Kentucky.
Water will be treated and cooled in the non-contact, contact and laminar circuits for the plate mill. Russula will supply the civil, mechanical and electrical engineering package, electrical and control equipment and on-site services for the water treatment plant.
Russula’s engineering solutions save time and lower costs. Engineering development of the piping and support structures using 3D software reduce construction interferences between engineering disciplines. Independent, power control rooms with pre-mounted MCCs inside, dramatically reduce the assembly and installation time in the field. Leveraging decades of expertise and comprehensive process know-how, Russula will provide a robust automation and drive solution that lowers energy consumption.
Plate production is expected to start in late 2022. Nucor Brandenburg marks the 26th water treatment solution Russula has sold worldwide. Russula was very pleased to be awarded this contract and participate in making history with Nucor.
