Aluminium de Grece (AdG) has installed a High Pressure Filter Press early this year, in order to progressively cease sea disposal for Red Mud. The overall cost exceeded 2 million euros. In the near future a second Filter Press is expected to be installed and then the whole quantity of produced Red Mud will be processed in this manner. The resulting semi-dry product, is named "Ferro-alumina" and there are concrete hopes for its marketing. So far, an agreement has been signed between AdG and two industrial partners for delivering "Ferro-alumina". The material will be used for cement and bricks production. We have uploaded pictures taken during a visit in AdG and have also produced a small Flash video to celebrate the realization of a long project.
