Brazilian aluminium producer Alloys & Metals Reciclagem de Metais intends to save costs at its future operations in Pará state, in the north of Brazil, by processing liquid metal, Metal Bulletin understands.
"By building a plant next to a primary aluminium producer, it is possible to save costs by reprocessing liquid metal, which, in this case, is generated by [Hydro's] Albras, [plant," Alloys' director Marcel Popovici told MB.
Alloys, Hydro subsidiary Albras and Pará state government recently signed a commitment to make future investments in the local aluminium production chain.
"There are lots of business opportunities in the Northern region of Brazil," added Popovici.
Alloys intends to build a billet operation in the state, as well as an extruded products plant and an aluminium recycling facility, and Albras will be its primary aluminium supplier.
The project will be developed over the next three years and initial investments are estimated at $100 million.
Other investments will focus on the production of aluminium for steel de-oxidation, secondary alloys and aluminium powder from scrap, as well as possibly the manufacture of alloys for the automotive industry.
