DSM takes the plunge for Olympic teams

DSM will become the official sponsor of the Netherlands’ best two sailing teams in the 470 class – and the Swiss fencing team heading for the Beijing Olympics this year. In the run-up to the Olympics, DSM is supporting sailing world title holders Marcelien de Koning and Lobke Berkhout and the silver medal winners of the 2007 World Championships in Portugal, Sven and Kalle Coster. Techint Italimpianti Deutschland GmbH – part of Tenova LOI Italimpianti – has received an order from Georgsmarienhütte GmbH for the engineering, manufacturing, assembly and commissioning of a new evaporative cooling system for the waste gas duct of the EAF in the customer’s main plant in Georgsmarienhütte, Germany. The new cooling system for the waste gas duct was planned as a state-of-the-art evaporative cooling system and will use the waste heat energy for steam production. 12t saturated steam with 20.5 bar and 216°C will be produced hourly. The steam will be used for vacuum steel degassing. Due to the discontinuous mode of the furnace and the continuous steam demand of the steel degassing additional steam accumulators will be used as buffers.

contenders at the Olympics. And DSM has also stepped in to sponsor the Swiss fencing team for Beijing. The team, led by Marcel Fisher, claimed the gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. This top-level fencing team is joining the expanding DSM unlimited sports team which already includes the best two Dutch sailing teams in the 470 class, the Dutch mens volleyball team, Dutch pole

vaulter Rens Blom and Dutch Paralympics wheelchair tennis player Sharon Walraven. By adding the Swiss fencing team to its team, DSM’s involvement in sport is gradually becoming an international effort.
