Reducing emissions
State-of-the-art air quality technologies
EGA Spectro Alloys understands that clean air is essential for healthy communities, which is why we invest in advanced technology, like a first-of-its-kind X-ray scrap sorting system, to improve our environmental footprint and significantly reduce emissions that could affect local air quality.
We consistently surpass the stringent air emission limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). MPCA monitoring near our facility consistently demonstrates that the air quality in our vicinity is among the best in the state. Our certifications underscore our dedication to world-class environmental management, driving continuous improvement and sustainable operations.
We maintain rigorous monitoring systems, operating 24/7, and conduct regular stack testing to ensure we are always operating within our strict parameters. Every step we take is driven by a desire to minimize our impact and inspire positive change within our industry.
EGA Spectro Alloys employs some of the most advanced technology in the aluminum recycling industry.

Our X-ray scrap sorting system uses advanced technology to ensure that only clean materials enter our furnaces, drastically reducing potential emissions.

Scrap metal is charged into furnaces that are ducted to lime-injected baghouses to capture emissions created by the melting process.

High-efficiency burners significantly decrease natural gas consumption and emissions volume.

Our certifications validate our internal systems and controls for environmental management.
