CASE STUDY 19. Filtration for Alcan (France) swarf recovery at an aluminium billet plant
In 1998 this Glosfume ceramic filter system was originally installed at British Aluminium plant in the UK to filter oily fumes from an induction furnace smelting oily swarf recovered from billet sawing.
The filter is injected with 2C talc before being recycled back to the inlet ducting. At a pre-set time, the talc is discharged to a collection drum and the cycle is re
Product recovery of cobalt and lithium oxides
This installation was designed to enable the customer to quickly change elements between production runs - thereby not only does this save time and money but also maximises operational efficiency during product recovery.
To avoid filtrate `hang ups` and potentially costly cross-contamination, all internal surfaces are mirror polished and manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
To make it ea

The filter is injected with 2C talc before being recycled back to the inlet ducting. At a pre-set time, the talc is discharged to a collection drum and the cycle is repeated.
During 2006 British Aluminium at Workington closed down and sold out to Alcan with most of th
Filtration for induction smelting of aluminium scrap
Coleshill Aluminium Ltd purchased their first ceramic filter from Glosfume in 1994. Since then, we`ve developed a close working relationship and over the past 18 years, Coleshill have purchased four filter units, most recently in 2005.
During induction smelting, contaminated aluminium scrap is converted into ingots and the volatile elements are filtered. Unlike oil-fired furnaces, no secondary combustio
HCl emissions reduced from 1000mg/Nm3 to 5mg/Nm3.
Process: To recover aluminium scrap from plastic foil.
A Glosfume high temperature ceramic filter system replaced an existing bag filter that had suffered severe corrosion. This was due to being operated at low temperatures, combined with extremely high HCl levels, during aluminium scrap decoating.
Lime injection provided inadequate HCl removal and led to problems with CaCl2 `setti
