We pay great attention to implementing responsible water use practices. TMK’s key water protection objectives include reducing the impact on water bodies, reducing pollutants in wastewater, and promoting water recycling and reuse. To deliver on these goals, TMK is focused on the following areas:
- Technologies and measures to reduce effluent pollution
- Effective operation of treatment systems
- Lower specific volume of contaminated wastewater discharge
- Higher volume of wastewater reused
- Higher water recycling ratio
- Improving the water supply and discharge monitoring system
The Company’s plants are constantly fine-tuning their water management systems. The year 2020 saw the commissioning of advanced water treatment facilities, namely AQA Genesis at Pervouralsk Pipe Plant (PNTZ) and AQA Crystal at Chelyabinsk Pipe Plant (CHTPZ). In 2023, CHTPZ launched another green facility, AQA Balance. AQA facilities ensure compliance with all environmental safety regulations and help to conserve water.
For its AQA project, TMK won a national ECOTECH-LEADER 2022 award in the Construction and Operation of Treatment Facilities category.
