The EMP team based in the UK have the ability to undertake full turnkey projects incorporating not only the EMP Systems but other associated 'equipments' i.e.scrap treatment and preparation systems through strategic alliances and other relationships. The EMP team bring together a wealth of experience in aluminium cast house operations, turnkey project management and systems engineering throughout the aluminium industry. Background
The EMP story began in 1988 with the Cookson Group, a major worldwide aluminium organization. Cookson Aluminium identified the possible use of an electromagnetic pumping system for molten aluminium. In 1990 they initiated a pilot study in conjunction with EA technology at one of their subsidiary operations, Calder Aluminium in Derbyshire, England. In 1991 Calder, spurred by environmental legislation issues surrounding the disposal of salt slags from their rotary furnaces, decided to embark on a change of technology from rotary furnace to reverberatory furnace technology. Calder needed to develop a more efficient method for putting a variety of light gauge aluminium scrap materials into the furnace and increase metal recovery. It was for this technology change that the first EMP system was developed. In 1992, following success with the pilot study, two new 30 tonne aluminium reverberatory side well furnaces with EMP systems were installed. Each system included the unique EMP vortex chamber. Following the great success of the Calder Aluminium start up and subsequent system refinements during the following years, EMP Technologies was set up to market the EMP system throughout Europe. |
