SynopsisDirecta Plus, a leader in graphene nanoplatelet-based products, celebrates its subsidiary, Setcar, securing a three-year contract with Romania's LIBERTY Galati, a major steel producer. This partnership aims to treat oily mill scale waste generated in steel manufacturing, with potential contract value expansion to €8.0 million. Setcar's innovative processing, utilizing Directa's patented Grafysorber technology, facilitates the conversion of oily sludge waste into reusable raw material for steel production. The contract paves the way for enhanced waste treatment services and broader applications for Grafysorber technology.ArticleIn a significant leap towards sustainable steel production, Directa Plus, renowned for its graphene nanoplatelet-based products, is celebrating a substantial achievement. Its environmental services subsidiary, Setcar, has clinched a three-year contract with LIBERTY Galati, the largest integrated steel producer in Romania. This collaborative endeavor aims to address a pressing issue in steel manufacturing: the treatment of oily mill scale waste.The waste generated in rolling production, known as mill scale (iron oxides), results from billets passing through the rolling mill at temperatures approaching 1000°C, interacting with oxygen, oil, and coolant water. Throughout the entire rolling process, approximately 2.5% of the metal weight of the workpiece accumulates as slag.This multi-year contract boasts a total value of €5.5 million, with the potential for expansion up to €8.0 million contingent on the monthly production volume of rolling mills. Setcar's solution, underpinned by Directa's patented Grafysorber technology, offers an innovative approach to managing this challenge.Directa's Grafysorber technology represents a breakthrough method for removing and recovering oil compounds from mill sludge, facilitating the recycling of an otherwise challenging waste product. Setcar's distinctive processing system empowers LIBERTY Galati to transform a substantial volume of oily sludge waste into a valuable raw material that can be reintegrated into the steel production process.This contract, awarded through a public tender process, positions Setcar to expand its waste treatment and disposal services for industrial pollutants while broadening the horizons of Grafysorber technology applications.Grafysorber technology is a hybrid graphene-based solution for treating water sludges and emulsions containing hydrocarbons. It stands as a champion, boasting at least five times greater effectiveness than current technologies, absorbing over 100 times its weight in oil-based pollutants. Moreover, Grafysorber is eco-friendly, non-flammable, and reusable, with recoverable adsorbed hydrocarbons.Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus, expressed immense pride in this milestone. This contract marks the largest single deal inked by the Group to date, equivalent to the company's entire 2020 annual turnover. The multi-year collaboration with LIBERTY Galati signifies an exciting victory, showcasing Grafysorber's potential in addressing a global market for oily mill scale treatment. Directa Plus looks forward to a fruitful partnership with LIBERTY Galati, highlighting Grafysorber's compelling advantages in steel production.ConclusionThis alliance seeks to tackle the challenge of oily mill scale waste in steel manufacturing, with a three-year contract worth €5.5 million, extendable to €8.0 million. Powered by Directa's Grafysorber technology, this innovative approach promises to convert substantial sludge waste into reusable raw material, ushering in a greener era for steel production. This achievement highlights the growing momentum for Grafysorber and opens doors to broader applications, ultimately championing sustainability in the steel industry.
