The white papers cover a variety of subjects explaining Orbite’s technology, the science behind alumina extraction, and information on several rare earth elements. The reports also clarify how Orbite’s technology not only prevents the creation of red mud but can actually remediate such toxic by-products, which contain up to 20-25% alumina. In the process, Orbite can retrieve all other valuable elements in the waste, turning the typically costly process of disposing of red mud into a revenue generator. Each white paper is meant to be an accessible introduction to Orbite’s technology and its competitive position in various markets. These documents will also be used for feasibility studies going forward. Research and publication of the reports was done in collaboration with Secor, the largest independent strategy and organizational consulting firm in Canada. While our business is considered complex by many, our vision is clear – to leverage our advanced technology to cleanly extract alumina and other elements from the earth, meeting rising industry demand. Orbite’s proprietary process for alumina extraction does not produce toxic red mud, as do conventional methods; our non-polluting technology recovers a high percentage of alumina and other minerals found therein.
