Globally 1 million tonnes of Aluminium dross per year is produced out of which 0.1 million tonnes is generated in India, that is majorly landfilled.

Its safe disposal is a challenge because improper disposal in landfills contaminates the surface and ground water eco-system. When in contact with water (e.g., during rainfall) hazardous gases such as phosphine and ammonia are produced - polluting the atmosphere.

Runaya has deployed three stage process to tackle the challenge of Aluminium dross in an environmentally friendly manner and currently has an installed capacity of 40,000 MT.

Runaya has licensed technology from TAHA International, which is a unique and innovative dross processing solution.

Benefits

50% higher Aluminium recovery

compared to other methods.

Zero waste & Zero discharge

process

Energy efficient process

(No additional heating), classifying the aluminium recovered as “Green Aluminium” and reducing overall CO₂ emissions.

Environment friendly

and Circular economy model

The value-added manufacturing stage

produces “RubiQ” and “RuCal” briquettes from the residue post Aluminium metal recovery.

Business Overview

Runaya has successfully implemented this process

at Vedanta's Aluminium Smelters in Jharsuguda and BALCO.

40,000 tons of yearly Dross processing capacity, recovering 16,000 tons of Aluminium Metal

Operate on a unique outsourced model

where we use specialist O&M partners for the majority of our operations

80% women team (direct and indirect),

testament to our commitment on gender diversity and inclusion.

Runaya Products

Green Aluminium

Aluminium is recovered

from the dross without any generation of solid or liquid waste and no usage of any salts.

GHG intensity

of 0.4-0.6 tCO₂/T Al (10X lower than conventional)

With a plan to turn 100% renewable energy,

we aim to produce Aluminium with lowest carbon emissions.

RubiQ Green™ & RuCal Green™

Made from the depleted dross

and is a major source of Alumina (Al₂O₃)

Allows easy and dust free

handling and application.

Replaces the use of primary Aluminium

in Steel plants and eliminates the utilization of fluorspar, improving the refractory life of the furnace.
