Agenda Agenda About CSI Water Use at CSI Water Sources Challenges 2
About CSI About CSI Leading producer of rolled steel in the Western United States In business since 1984, replacing a portion of Kaiser Steel (built in 1942) Employ about 1000 people 3
About CSI About CSI Production Process Production Process Slabs: 7.8 to 9 thickness Hot Strip Rolling Mill Reheat Furnace (2) Continuous Pickling Line 5 Stand Cold Reduction Mill Hot Rolled Coil #1 & #2 Galvanizing Lines Hydrogen Annealing & Temper Rolling ERW Pipe Mill 4
About CSI About CSI Steel Slab Steel Slab 5
About CSI About CSI Heated Slab Heated Slab 6
About CSI About CSI Rolling Mills Rolling Mills 7
About CSI About CSI Hot Rolled Coil Hot Rolled Coil 8
About CSI About CSI Other Downstream Products Other Downstream Products Pickling Runs steel coils through an acid bath to remove iron oxides from the surface Galvanizing Runs steel coils through molten zinc baths to apply zinc coating. Has matte finish and protects against oxidation of the steel Cold Reduction Rolling process with no heating. Allows for more malleability in steel Pipe Mill Forms coil into pipe shape and straight welds ends to create pipe 9
Water Use at CSI Water Use at CSI Cooling Direct contact cooling Cooling tower makeup Heat exchangers Domestic Nontransient Noncommunity Public Water System Irrigation Steam Cleaning 10
Water Sources Water Sources Two Deep Wells Chino Basin Watermaster Municipal Domestic Water Fontana Water Company Recycled Water In Progress 11
Response to Water Crisis Response to Water Crisis Better position than most Water rights in an adjudicated basin Very well managed basin Multiple sources Estimating real reductions from conservation Production changes vs. intentional measures Increased employee/public attention Participation in industry water advisory groups and local municipalities Increased cost of water Capital projects to increase reliability, efficiency, and quality 12
Challenges Challenges Water Forecasting Modeling water use at various rates of production Ensuring availability Securing multiple sources Monitoring water rights Maintaining infrastructure Education From operator level to Executives Water rights Costs of different sources of water Regulations Conservation Potable water and industrial waste waters 13
Challenges Challenges Balancing Demand Maximizing cost efficiency of different sources Cost of municipal water is 10 times cost of well water Monitoring water system Lowering peak demand Storage Monitoring pressure of inlets into water system Balancing production times Presence in Water Community We re in the steel business not water business Staying informed to make proper decisions Having input on regulations and groundwater operations 14
Moving Forward Moving Forward Balancing Sources Cost Availability Community Reducing Waste Less once-through Groundwater recharge potential Continuing Education Keeping up to date with regulations Water efficiency and wastewater treatment technologies Understanding opportunities of being involved in the water community 15
