Our Smart Plants use clean and renewable energy to power an electrolyzer that produces hydrogen and oxygen. This electrolysis process is particularly suitable for scrap recycling in the tilting rotary furnace, as it utilizes both hydrogen and oxygen.

For post-consumer scrap recycling, tilting rotary furnaces and vortex furnaces with waste elimination systems will be fired with this low-carbon fuel. Hydrogen will replace natural gas. Maintenance and alloy furnaces will use renewable electricity as fuel for heating.

The plant recycles and treats all by products, such as slag, salt cake, and generated fumes, to create circular plants without waste through sustainable methods of aluminium alloy production.

A slag cooler is used to increase aluminium recovery from slag, reduce oxidation and emissions, as well as space and cooling time. Sorting facilitates the recycling of salts by specialized companies and the use of pieces to fill roads.

Total circularity is the clear path to the future, and GHI Smart Furnaces is driving this change.

The Plant of the Future utilizes Machine learning and Artificial intelligence to enhance foundry operations, employing our large industrial furnaces, which offer proven high economic performance.

The plant collects real-time data to optimize their processes and increase plant profitability through our digitalization and continuous improvement expertise.

The future plant demands hybrid job roles, merging technical metallurgy experts with cutting-edge skills in Big Data and Machine Learning.

These professionals will be able to explore the benefits of Artificial Intelligence, using these skills to predict and control the mechanical properties of aluminium alloys, discover new materials, and develop new alloys.
