Future
New Billet and Recycling Facility
ALVANCE plans to introduce a 100kt state-of-the-art billet and recycling facility in Lochaber adjacent to the smelter using green energy, sourced from the existing hydro-electric plant on site. The billet plant will be equipped with remelt furnaces that can utilise pre- and post-consumers scrap and
contaminated scrap.
This will further reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint of our product. This can also help to optimise customer scrap flows.
The installation of a rotary titling furnace and a multichamber furnace will also enable the plant to handle difficult scraps.
The metal input into the casthouse will be a blend of primary metal and secondary metal generated
from recycled pre- and post-consumer scrap, a unique combination to ensure the production of high-quality billets.
