Practice 06 / Specialised Technical Consulting
We design, build and hand over processing plants that turn aluminium dross residue and spent pot lining into saleable materials. We take responsibility for the waste from the smelter floor to the final product, with zero landfill as the design target.
Specialised Technical Consulting
Product mix is set per plant by the chemistry and volume of the client's waste.
Primary and secondary smelters produce different residues, but they share the same problem: a hazardous material that costs money to store, transport and landfill, and that stays the generator's liability for decades.
The carbon cathode and refractory lining removed from reduction cells at the end of their life. SPL carries leachable fluorides and cyanides and is classified hazardous in most jurisdictions.
What remains after metal is recovered from dross and scrap melting. The residue holds salts, aluminium nitride and fluorides that react with moisture and leach into soil and groundwater.
Each project moves through five stages, with a client sign-off at every gate. We stay involved after handover for as long as the plant needs us.
Dross or SPL analysis, valorisation strategy and product mix scoping.
Bespoke plant engineering matched to the residue chemistry, yield targets and market.
Procurement and construction oversight with compliance at every stage.
Hands-on initial operation, mass balance setting and staff training.
Full documentation, competency sign-off and ongoing support options.
A diversified product portfolio spreads market risk and gives the plant several sources of revenue instead of a single disposal cost.
Fertiliser additive for agriculture.
Lower-CO₂ supplementary material for cement and construction.
Fused and sintered grades for steel and cement metallurgy.
Recovered flux returned to aluminium smelters.
A first conversation covers your waste volumes, the analysis data you hold, your site and your timeline. From there we propose an initial assessment.

Tell us about your smelter and the residue it produces. We will come back to arrange an initial consultation, usually under a mutual NDA so technical data can be shared freely.
