Environmentally Committed Dross Processing
The new benchmark in dross management
Dross should not be considered as waste but as an economic source of valuable aluminium. Dross generally represents between 1% and 10% by weight of the melt, and, depending on the process, its metal content can vary from 15% to 80%. Traditionally, aluminium has been recovered using rotary salt furnaces, which are energy intensive and produce toxic waste.

Here’s what our customer has to say about TAHA International
Our partnership with TAHA International has been a game-changer in aluminium dross processing.
Over the past three years, we have deployed TAHA's Hot Dross Processing technology, along with our advanced cold dross processing methods, across multiple Indian smelters. This has resulted in:
- A zero-waste process for producing high-value products from metal-depleted dross residues, further enhancing sustainability.
Jagannath Prasad Routray
CEO Recycling Business Runaya
As a leading manufacturer of secondary aluminium melting furnaces and state-of-the-art casthouse equipment, KMF installed a TRF-like aluminium dross centrifuge at a leading aluminium rolling mill in the Gulf . At this site, TAHA was engaged in a long-term contract for dross processing using its innovative SARAH process technology.
To ensure an objective performance evaluation, dross skimmed from the mill’s melting furnaces was divided into two equal portions: one processed using the TRF centrifuge, the other using TAHA’s proprietary system.
Despite optimizing centrifugal forces to maximize recovery, the TRF system was unable to outperform TAHA’s process.
The result: TAHA’s process delivers outstanding efficiency—without the use of salt or flux additives. This unique, environmentally friendly technology makes aluminium dross processing more sustainable and cost-effective than ever before.
TAHA represents innovation, efficiency, and sustainability—providing a solution that not only maximizes resource recovery but also supports environmental responsibility.

Dross Processing Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminum dross is a by-product of aluminum production, containing valuable aluminum metal and oxides. Processing dross efficiently recovers aluminum, reduces waste, and minimizes environmental impact.
Salt-free dross processing is a method of recovering aluminum from dross without using salt or other chemicals. TAHA’s process is environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, recovering up to 90% of available metal in the first stage.
TAHA’s process involves two stages:
- First Stage: Rapid, low-energy recovery of up to 90% of available metal, which can be returned immediately to the original furnace without further alloying.
- First Stage: Rapid, low-energy recovery of up to 90% of available metal, which can be returned immediately to the original furnace without further alloying.
TAHA’s process eliminates the use of salt, avoiding the production of hazardous salt cake. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 81% compared to traditional rotary salt furnace methods.
TAHA refines the residual oxides into feedstock for value-added products such as steel slag conditioners, agricultural fertilizers, outdoor heat-resistant tiles, and aluminum tri-hydrate (ATH).
By eliminating landfill disposal of depleted dross and converting residuals into valuable products, TAHA’s process supports a zero-waste approach in the aluminum industry.
No, TAHA’s patented solutions do not require additional energy or salt, making the process energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Yes, TAHA’s processing facilities are designed to operate in close proximity to cast houses, allowing for easy implementation and flexibility in processing varying quantities of dross.
Yes, the technology can be licensed. You can submit an application to license Taha technology directly through the dedicated licensing section on our website. Here
