Overview This facility processes scrap.metal containing aluminum to separate and recover the aluminum. Materials handled can include broken or used castings, pistons, transmissions, siding and punching blanks and other similar aluminum-containing pieces. The scrap is charged to an aluminum sweat furnace designed to heat the parts to a high enough temperature to melt only the aluminum, which flows into a separate chamber from which it can be poured into molds. The remaining metals are removed as solids for recycling. Oil and grease fumes from heating the charge pass through an afterburner before discharge to the atmosphere. II. Emission Sources and Pollution Control Equipment The emission sources and associated process equipment, air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment at the emission facility described above include the following: Source No. 1 Facility I.D.
