BUTTING recycles metal waste sustainably
BUTTING is one of the leading processors of stainless steels. As these materials are particularly resistant to corrosion and temperature, and therefore require little maintenance, they are particularly environmentally friendly. In addition, BUTTING is always looking for ways to optimise its business activities – including in the area of recycling metal waste. BUTTING in Knesebeck has been working closely with the recycling specialist Cronimet Envirotec since 2021. The aim is to reduce waste volumes and at the same time improve the recycling rate by reprocessing waste generated in the production process. Currently, residue from the cutting and grinding processes and dust from BUTTING filter systems are recycled by Cronimet Envirotec.…

LNG: Market relies on BUTTING pipes
The importance of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has grown significantly worldwide in recent months. Gas is also an important component for Germany to secure its energy supply. BUTTING has been supporting this industry for several decades – in addition to clad pipes for extracting gas (upstream), BUTTING also manufactures longitudinally welded stainless steel pipes for the treatment and processing sector (downstream). The German government’s LNG Acceleration Act is intended to drive forward the development of the LNG infrastructure. Projects include both land-based and floating terminals (floating storage and regasification units, or FSRUs). BUTTING has already supplied corrosion-resistant pipes in the materials 1.4462 / UNS S31803 (duplex), 1.4410 / UNS S32750…

Sustainability in the cruise ship industry
MAN commissioned BUTTING to produce components ready for installation for the cruise ship MS Amadea operated by Phoenix Reisen. MS Amadea appears in the popular German TV series Das Traumschiff ("The Dream Ship"). It is also a pioneer in emission reduction: intelligent product solutions help to sustainably minimise pollutant emissions while maintaining engine performance. The new exhaust system includes selective catalytic reduction functionality. The catalytic converter converts the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas into water vapour and nitrogen. This process minimises pollutants and ensures efficient ship propulsion. BUTTING China shipped a prefabricated vessel to Knesebeck. The component for the ship’s new exhaust system was then assembled at the…
