ALRO initiates Eco Recycling Facility Stage II operation hoping to boost capacity by nearly 60,000 tpa

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

ALRO, one of Europe's largest vertically integrated aluminium producers by production capacity, has initiated the operations of  Eco Recycling Facility Stage II in Slatina, comprising two double-chamber furnaces, one holding furnace, and a dedicated fume collection and treatment plant. As per the report, ALRO has infused US$11 million in these new technologies and treatments.

"While the very challenging business environment forced us to adapt our development plans to maintain our position on the international market, one strategic direction remained unchanged, namely our commitment to increase efficiency and reduce overall consumption, and the investment in the Eco Recycling Facility supports these plans", said Marian Nastase, Chairman of ALRO Board of Directors. "We are determined to continue our efforts to diversify our products portfolio, increase efficiency and reduce environmental footprint."

In 2013, ALRO's Eco Recycling Facility (Stage 1) became operational with one double chamber furnace, one induction furnace, one holding furnace, and the related fume collection and treatment plant. It started by providing molten aluminium to replace the use of primary metal produced from electrolysis since the latter consumes 95 per cent more electricity than aluminium scrap recycling.

With new technologies and treatments, the Eco Recycling Facility's capacity is expected to increase by about 60,000 tonnes per annum by the end of 2023.

Sustainability in the Global Aluminium Industry

This project marks the first development stage of the Eco Recycling Facility and will sustain ALRO's strategic decision to reduce electricity consumption for aluminium production.

As a result of all these crucial steps, ALRO is expected to soon reach the recycling capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum of solid aluminium scrap.
