Bypass Pumping > Water Cooling System for Rouge Steel  Rouge Steel utilized the neighboring Rouge River for cooling their process systems. Due to the decreasing water table elevations in recent years, the water temperature in the cooling system had increased a few degrees to reach a dangerous level and risk an explosion in the steel mill. MERSINO was brought in to evaluate the possibility of pumping water out of the river and discharging into a chiller tower that returned the water to the channel. MERSINO provided a quotation that included an arsenal of 18-inch, 12-inch, and 8-inch centrifugal pumps, ultimately combining to provide a total flow of approximately 100,000 gallons per minute.

MERSINO informed the client that these pumps were not readily available in the fleet, but could be manufactured by our sister company, Global Pump Company. The client was receptive but required that the pumps be delivered in three weeks, as the summer was approaching. Global Pump Company and MERSINO manufactured and |
