What were we asked to do?
We were asked to developer new software for the Aluminium Waste Treatment, this was a new part of plant aimed to combat waste.
The purpose of this plant was to recover trapped metal to re-melt and recover the salts used in the process. This would mean the waste product becomes a useful feedstock for other industries and – crucially – leaving zero waste for landfill.
The plant where the site is used contains salt slag that was contaminating a local water course. The salt slag is now taken from the ground, where it is fed into the pre-treatment plant.
