Award of Patent
Porvair, the advanced materials group, announces that it has
been awarded a US patent for its Aluminium Salts filtration
system. This system, which removes chloride salt impurities
from molten aluminium, has been developed over the last
three years, supported by the US Department of Energy and
sponsored by Alcoa.
Ben Stocks, Chief Executive, comments :
'This development solves a persistent problem for users of
aluminium and further enhances our leading position in the
aluminium filtration industry. We expect our Salt Filter to
underpin growth in Selee, as customer qualification
programmes get underway. Ultimately, we see this product
generating an additional $2-3m of revenues per annum, once
qualification has been successfully completed.'
