  Harsco acquired U.K.-based ALTEK in May 2018, a leading supplier of innovative process technology to the worldwide aluminium industry, to expand the metal recovery by-product reuse capabilities of its environmental division, Harsco Environmental (HE), into the aluminium industry. ALTEK has active equipment in over 600 locations around the world and works with customers, supplying knowledge and technology to improve operating efficiencies and productivity, reduce waste generation, and manage and extract value from waste streams.
  Presently, ALTEK proffers a proven and scalable total dross management service. ALTEK’s innovative product range is considered the best available technology, recovering more than 45% aluminium, depending on existing recovery techniques than has traditionally been possible.
  Ian Johns, Managing Director of ALTEK, said: “ALTEK is providing modern solutions to age-old problems, drastically reducing atmospheric pollution and pushing the aluminium industry to a zero-waste scenario through sustainable methods of producing aluminium.”

  “Our latest technology is designed with Industry 4.0 in mind, driving the digital transformation.”
  The cost-efficient recovery of metal and other valuable materials – and environmentally safe solutions for residual waste materials – is increasingly important to the aluminium industry.
  “Its properties make aluminium a vital resource for a climate-neutral and circular economy, and the material of the future for applications in key sectors (including transport, construction, packaging, renewable energy technologies). These characteristics explain a projected 40% growth in demand for aluminium between 2019 and 2050,” European Aluminum.
  James Herbert, Global Sales Director of ALTEK, said: “Every cast house is an opportunity for innovation, and we are delivering end-to-end solutions that improve cast house operations, including aluminium dross processing systems.”

  “The result is the best range of technology available to reduce dross generation, maximize aluminium dross recovery, improve efficiencies, and provide significant environmental and recycling benefits. As we hold a deep understanding of the process, we are also uniquely equipped to find solutions to customer problems and customize our variety of offerings to meet customer requirements.”
  ALTEK is the pioneer provider of a commercially viable and fully scalable in-house salt slag recycling solution available to the aluminium industry. The AluSalt? salt slag processing technology enables aluminium producers to recycle metallics and salts, recover other non-metallic products (NMPs) and achieve zero waste, addressing one of the largest environmental concerns within the aluminium market.
