South Aluminum Corporation was established to meet the needs of with the aim of supplying the needs of domestic markets and developing non-oil exports sustainable consumption the country's vast energy resources. Construction of the first phase of Salco project with a capacity of 300,000 MT per year began in January 2015, and after about 4.5 years with the completion of the construction process of the main process and support units, with the production of the first aluminum ingot, the factory in May 1999 It was opened. The technology used in the south aluminum complex is 430 kA technology, which is one of the newest technologies in the world in the aluminum industry with an efficiency of over 94%

In the South Aluminum Corporation, the technology used in the production lines supports the highest level of environmental standards, and the complex is equipped with high-tech equipment to ensure the highest level of environmental protection and pollution control.

Due to the highly advanced processes and standards used, the products of this factory are produced to the purity of global standards and thus meet the standards of customers. Southern Aluminum Complex, in accordance with the legal requirements and national and international environmental regulations, on the one hand, and on the other hand, in order to fulfill its obligations and fulfill social responsibilities, adherence to environmental requirements and their improvement has become a priority. For example, in the anode cooking workshop, alumina adsorption method is used to purify pollutant gases from the cooking process in accordance with environmental requirements.

The construction of green space plays a very important role in preventing and controlling pollution and protecting the environment. In addition to beautifying the factory environment, green vegetation absorbs and separates pollution from the air and also purifies the air by absorbing harmful gases and reducing the concentration of pollutants. In addition, vegetation reduces noise pollution in the plant environment and plays an important role in improving local weather conditions. Due to the conditions of the area, all possible open spaces in the factory have been used to create vegetation. Trees planted in the factory environment have been selected from pollution-resistant species with high ability to absorb pollutants.
