Harsco signs mill services contract with Nucor in Arizona

Harsco Environmental, a member company of Philadelphia-based Enviri Corp., says it has signed a 10-year services contract with Nucor Steel Kingman in Arizona, a recycled electric arc furnace (EAF) steel mill operated by Nucor Corp., Charlotte, North Carolina.

“This contract is a testament to our commitment to safety and sustainability, and we are proud to be a technology partner providing Nucor with economically viable solutions for the treatment and reuse of their production co-products,” says Harsco Environmental Regional President of North America Joe Burkey.

Harsco says its contract will start in 2025 and “deliver comprehensive services to Nucor Steel Kingman, including slag recovery from the melt shop, slag processing and metal recovery, scrap yard management, and ‘ecoproducts’ sales, including from recovered metallics and processed slag as an environmentally friendly alternative for natural aggregate and mill scale.”

Earlier this year, Harsco announced the signing of a 7-year agreement with steelmaker Gerdau to provide similar services at Gerdau’s site in Sahagun, in the Mexica state of Hidalgo.

Harsco Environmental describes itself as a “comprehensive provider of onsite material processing and environmental services to the global metals industry,” adding it is involved with operations at more than 130 customer sites in more than 32 countries.
