In July 2023, Russula welcomed the Big River Steel Works team to its headquarters in A Coruña Spain for the new water treatement plant factory and software acceptance test. Russula is supplying a 13-circuit water treatment plant to treat more than 65 ML/hr of water for the $ 3 billion new steelmaking facility comprised of two EAFs, casting, rolling and finishing lines. In combination with the existing steelmaking facility, the new facility allows Big River Steel to form a 6.3 Mton mega mill in Osceola, Arkansas, USA.

The water solution consists of a make-up water treatment area, contact and non-contact cooling circuits, an effluent treatment area and an advanced effluent recovery system. This water treatment plant combines the know-how acquired by Russula over many years and includes new processes such as the effluent recovery system, which applies the latest techniques in water treatment. As a result, the new plant will significantly exceed the environmental requirements and drastically reduce water consumption by recovering the vast majority of the water discharged into the environment.
