Ultromex Limited has developed a number of highly innovative technologies to assist the aluminium smelting industry deal proactively with its production wastes. Many of these wastes are designated as hazardous and prohibited from landfill.Disposal of these wastes is highly problematic and expensive, involving processing fees and transportation costs, often crossing trans-national boundaries bringing additional costs and complications.Ultromex is developing technologies for multiple smelting waste streams, with the primary goals of: -Reducing costs and increasing profits for smelters (both primary and secondary)Helping smelters to reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impactKeeping hazardous wastes out of landfillAllowing the industry to be a significant participant in the circular economyIn 2017 Ultromex brought to market ALTROMEX enabling smelters to recover valuable metal from drosses before charging the furnace increasing yields, efficiency and throughput with the most recent installation at the end of 2019 in the GCC.At the end of 2020 Ultromex commissioned the first SALTROMEX plant, a smelter sized treatment plant, with several unique innovations enabling it to be deployed in situ with affordable Capex and Opex allowing smelters to treat their own salt slag, recover value from the constituents and avoid expensive third-party processing & transportation.Also, at the end of 2020 Ultromex secured a contract with Rio Tinto to deploy SALTROMEX, modified for increase throughput and the removal of a wider range of contaminants, to remediate a salt slag landfill in France. Ultromex is confident that this project will open up many future projects in Europe and around the world and demonstrate value to those who are responsible for problematic landfills containing alumunium smelting wastes.Ultromex also offers solutions to address other aluminium industry wastes such Spent Pot Liners and filter dusts as they arise at the smelter, or where they have been stockpiled or landfilled in the past.

奥特mex有限公司开发了许多高度创新的技术，以协助铝冶炼行业积极处理其生产废料。其中许多废物被指定为有害废物，禁止填埋。这些废物的处理问题很大，费用昂贵，涉及处理费和运输费，往往跨越跨国边界，带来额外的费用和复杂情况。Ultromex正在开发针对多种冶炼废物流的技术，其主要目标是：-为冶炼厂（一级和二级）降低成本和增加利润帮助冶炼厂减少碳足迹和对环境的影响将危险废物排除在垃圾填埋场之外使该行业成为循环经济的重要参与者2017年，Ultromex将ALTROMEX推出市场，使冶炼厂能够在加热炉之前从渣滓中回收有价值的金属，从而提高产量。2019年底在海湾合作委员会最新安装的效率和吞吐量。2020年底，Ultromex启用了第一家SALTROMEX工厂，这是一家冶炼厂规模的处理厂，具有几项独特的创新，使其能够以可负担的资本支出和运营支出在现场部署，使冶炼厂能够处理自己的盐渣，从成分中回收价值，并避免昂贵的第三方加工和运输。此外，在2020年底，Ultromex与里约热内卢Tinto签订了一份合同，部署SALTROMEX，以提高吞吐量和去除更广泛的污染物，以修复法国的盐渣填埋场。Ultromex相信，这个项目将在欧洲和世界各地开辟许多未来的项目，并向那些对含有铝冶炼废料的有问题的垃圾填埋场负责的人展示价值。Ultromex还提供解决方案，以解决其他铝工业废物，如废罐内衬和过滤器粉尘，因为它们出现在冶炼厂，或在过去储存或填埋。
