Industrial performance with responsibility towards the environment
Our aluminium recycling plant in Baia Mare was designed to recover the value of aluminium waste while reducing metal losses, energy consumption and environmental impact. Modern equipment and digital process control allow environmental protection measures to be integrated into every stage of industrial activity.
Emission control and air protection
Aluminium chips are dried before melting to remove emulsions and cooling liquids. The resulting gases are treated in an afterburner chamber, where organic compounds are oxidised under controlled conditions. The installation includes a filtration system with two cyclones, designed to separate particles from the gas flow.
Heat from the flue gases is recovered and reused in the process, reducing gas consumption and improving energy efficiency. Monitoring operating parameters supports process control and the correct operation of the gas treatment equipment.
Energy used efficiently
A 150 kW photovoltaic plant is installed on the hall roof, covering part of the plant's electricity demand. Full LED lighting reduces electricity consumption, while heat recovery limits the energy required for the drying process.
Traceability and carbon footprint
Our plant is prepared to meet increasingly demanding requirements regarding climate performance and material traceability. For every delivery, we provide a carbon footprint certificate that supports documenting the environmental performance of the product.
This approach is relevant in the context of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), as well as the growing requirements of industrial customers regarding environmental data in the supply chain. Documenting the carbon footprint contributes to transparency and to assessing product impact, without replacing the reporting or verification obligations applicable to each operator.
Environmental protection is part of how we designed and operate the plant. Through flue gas treatment, energy recovery, photovoltaic energy use and process monitoring, we aim to valorise aluminium efficiently and responsibly, in compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
