We are pleased with the performance of EGA’s DX+ Ultra technology at Potline 6 and are keen to work with EGA to further improve our Potline performance.

EGA looks forward to continuing to apply its technology expertise on a commercial basis to support its production ambitions. EGA’s goal is to be the technology supplier of choice in the Aluminium industry, with technology as a growing revenue stream for EGA as well as delivering competitive advantage for the company’s own operations.”
