Pakistan’s largest Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant installed at one place, having a capacity of 6500 m3/day, was inaugurated recently by Sharjeel Azhar, CEO, Al-Ittefaq Steel Products Company (ISPC), a group company of Al-Tuwairqi of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The inauguration of state-of-the-art Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis Plant marked a major milestone in the completion of the TSML DRI Plant; the first private sector integrated steel manufacturing complex in Karachi. The Reverse Osmosis is the plant where raw water is filtered, cleaned and processed to be fed to the DRI Furnace. The pH level, algae and concentration of the suspended matter in water is controlled through various filtration processes.
This RO plant is a precondition for process water requirement of 1.28 million ton per annum capacity Tuwairqi Steel Mills DRI plant. Sharjeel attended Tuwairqi Steel Mills site located at Port Qasim, accompanied by Zaigham Adil Rizvi, Director (Projects), TSML.

The journey at TSML continues, and it is a journey that is built on hope, faith, and perseverance as we strive to achieve our goal of a successful and respected company that not only works for the betterment of itself, but also the betterment of Pakistan. I congratulate the entire team on this success; their toil has indeed paid off today and will eventually mark glory.
