Dubal Aluminium co-hosts metal quality forum

Dubai Aluminium (Dubal), a major single-site aluminium smelter, will co-host a major global metal quality workshop with Pyrotek, an international metals and technical services company.

The fifth international Metal Quality Workshop (MQW5) is set to open today (March 19) at the Meydan Hotel in Dubai, and will run up to March 22.

The forum will target improving performance in the production and processing of aluminium: topics which also reflect Dubal’s commitment to absolute quality and continuous improvement.

A not-for-profit, invitation-only event, MQW5 will focus on improving metal quality, operating performance and productivity in primary aluminium smelters, secondary re-melters, casthouses and foundries.

The agenda includes technical papers and case studies on improving performance, workshops featuring panels of industry specialists in specific areas of aluminium production and processing, and a technology fair that includes informal round-table discussions on selected topics.

“By installing leading-edge technologies, whether in-house developed or outsourced, Dubal ensures that the highest quality metal is produced by our smelter complex at all times, thereby meeting our customers’ exacting specifications; while simultaneously maximizing the operating efficiency and productivity of all our facilities,” said Dr Feras Allan, vice president: Product and Casting Services, Dubal.

“To this end, we nurture long-term, value-adding partnerships with leading vendors of technology, equipment and services; and continually seek to broaden our knowledge and expertise through participation in industry forums where best practices are shared.”
