“For fertiliser, a 2014 field trial conducted in Southland and Otago, New Zealand, evaluated the effectiveness of Clover 1 and B10 fertilisers, produced by Taha Fertiliser Industries, on pasture and crop production,” said Mr Frank Pollmann, Founder, TAHA International
In conversation with Mr. Frank Pollmann, Founder, TAHA International explained how TAHA has revolutionised aluminium dross processing by eliminating the use of salts and chemicals, which are traditionally used but harmful to the environment.

This smart positioning allows them to use the residual heat already present in the dross, removing the need for additional reheating. The result is a fast, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly process that can recover up to 90 per cent of the aluminium in the first step. Any remaining metal is then recovered using a second-stage...
