PROMOTION OF R&D As a necessary complement to its various activities, LATEMALUMINIUM S.A. will have a Research and Development Centre (Latem R&D) that will support production activities, while at the same time carrying out work optimisation and process improvement. LATEM R&D – THE MAIN REASERCH AREAS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Introduction of hydrogen as a fuel Hydrogen as fuel in aluminium smelting furnaces, gradually displacing natural gas. Project in consortium with equipment manufacturers and engineering to analyse hydrogen combustion (TRL 7/8/9 level). In terms of equipment and means of production Metallurgical behaviour of aluminium Hydrogen production from salt slag Salt slag: by-product of the melting of aluminium scrap. Hydrogen production is among its recoverable fractions Project in consortium with technologists and engineering companies in order to bring the process to technological maturity (TRL 6/7/8 level) Optimisation of the degree of recovery of aluminium from scrap metal Design and improvements in liquid aluminium transport equipment Collaboration agreement with the City of Energy (Ciuden). Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (pending signature). Collaboration agreement with the National Hydrogen Centre. Collaboration agreement with the University of León ABOUT LATEM ALUMINIUM LatemAluminium was created with the goal of offering our clients recycled aluminium alloys in ingot format, in liquid aluminium and as high quality rolled aluminium CONTACT Tel. +34 985 67 60 00 Fax. +34 985 49 32 32 info@latemaluminium.com Legal Notice We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website.
