Question:
What is the most cost-effective method of treating any
type of small scrap aluminum, and reduce your emissions at the
same time?
Answer:
A Gillespie + Powers, Inc.
Decoating System!
The Gillespie +
Powers, Inc. Decoating process will pre-heat the scrap. If the
melting furnace is close-coupled to the Decoating Systems then full
use will be made of this free energy, reducing fuel consumption and
increasing melt rate. The usage of salts and flux’s are greatly
reduced helping to minimize processing costs. There will also be
less salt cake and hence lower disposal costs to landfill/treatment.
Metal recovery rates will also be improved as we are now charging
clean material to the melt furnace. With the use of an
afterburner and cyclone system the fugitive emissions are
nearly reduced all together. This alone can pay for the Decoating
System in a relatively short time.

| Why
Decoat? |
- Higher metal recovery during subsequent
melting.
- Lower dross formation during melting.
- Lower Salt/Flux usage in the melting
process.
- No fugitive emissions when charging scrap
into melt furnace.
- Energy efficiency, makes use of the energy
in the Contaminants.
- Environmental reasons, reduced emissions of
VOC’s.
- Market flexibility, the ability to process
a wide range of scrap types.
- Safety, reduced risk of explosion in melt
furnace due to trapped water.
- Opportunity cost, it is cheaper to recycle
aluminum than produce new.
