ArcelorMittal Will Use Desalination Technology Used in Israel for Water Supply to Its Steel Mill in Espírito Santo, Signaling Jobs and Construction.

ArcelorMittal SA (MT.AS), the world’s largest steelmaker, is set to build its first desalination unit in Brazil to meet unexpected water needs at its factory in eastern Espírito Santo, senior executives said in an interview on Friday. The unit aims to reduce the company’s dependency on the state water supply company Cesan and avoid production cuts during water crises, such as the state experienced in 2015 and 2016, said Jorge Ribeiro, president of ArcelorMittal’s Flat Steel Division in Brazil.

Although the plant will be ArcelorMittal’s first, desalination facilities have already become common in several rival steel mills and mining operations, which tend to be water-intensive.

The company is in the final stages of selecting a firm to construct the plant, Ribeiro said, adding that a decision will likely be made next month, with companies from India, the United States, and Spain among those interested.
