Harsco Expands Environmental Services for Aluminum Industry in Middle East

Company signs contacts totaling $5 million.


Harsco Corp. has signed new contracts in the Middle East that total close to $5 million over a three-year period. The deal will make Harsco one of the leading environmental services providers to that region's aluminum industry.

The contract will operate through Harsco’s joint venture partnership in Bahrain called AluServ. The company services the region as a processor of aluminum dross, a metal-containing by-product of aluminum production.

To grow its aluminum processing business, Harsco is installing a Rotating Tilting Furnace (RTF) that will make Harsco the largest dross processor in the Gulf Region. The new furnace will allow the company to pursue more customers throughout the region. The RTF facility will be integrated with a new salt cake processing plant also being installed by Harsco that will give the region a zero waste solution for recycling aluminum dross.
