Ultromex secures contract for its ALTROMEX dross processing technology

Ultromex has secured a multi-million pound Middle East contract from Radian Oil and Gas Co. (Radian) to deliver its ALTROMEX dross processing technology. The company provides innovative solutions to the aluminium industry to recover value from aluminium dross and other industrial by-products for both primary and secondary smelters.

The agreement followed after Radian entered into a deal with the Saudi Arabian national aluminium producer to process aluminium smelting by-products.

Nigel Seddon, Chief Executive of Ultromex, said: “Ultromex has been working closely with Radian and the Saudi primary smelter for some time and we are delighted that our technology has been selected to treat aluminium dross for this primary.

“We will be building on this relationship to provide further Ultromex technical expertise for the treatment of smelting by-products at the Saudi primary smelter. I see our relationship with Radian as an important one which will enable us to further develop business together in the Middle East region.”

Using ALTROMEX dross processing technology, remelting can be achieved in a low cost manner, yielding significantly fewer waste by-products, Ultromex said.
