A Merseyside firm specialising in helping the aluminium industry has won a multi million-pound contract for its technology to help the Saudi Arabian national producer of the product.
Ultromex provides innovative solutions to the industry, to recover value from aluminium dross and other industrial by-products for primary and secondary smelters.
It announced on Friday it has secured the massive contract to supply its technology to Saudi oil firm Radian, who recently secured an agreement with the national producer to process aluminium smelting by-products.
Nigel Seddon, chief executive of Ultromex, based in Bromborough in Wirral, 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.”
The innovative process and equipment developed by Ultromex selectively separates dross to release clean aluminium metal which can be remelted.
Using Ultromex technology, remelting can be achieved in a highly efficient, low cost manner, yielding significantly less waste by-products.
