Chinese Authorities to inspect captive power plants at aluminium smelters in provinces



According to a notice issued by the National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) and National Energy Administration (NEA) and published by Shanghai Metals Market, the Chinese Authorities are set to inspect Coal-fired captive power plants at aluminium smelters in six major aluminium producing provinces in China.
The six aluminium producing provinces will be inspected before the end of June, as reported.  The six provinces include Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Shandong. According to a source, three producers in each of these six provinces will be scrutinized.
The authorities will examine the following three aspects which include:
1. Basic conditions of coal-fired captive power plants, i.e. number of power plants, whether power plants comply with rules and regulations.
2. Whether power plants pay fees in accordance with rules.
3. Whether power plants’ emissions reach standard.  
Cultivated with a craftsmanship for more than 20 years in aluminum field, and now we have become a modernized company with over 60000 m2 workshops and more than 500 employees and have supplied innovative, safe and reliable products, based on ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 systems, for over 100 aluminum smelters in the world.
We have more than 670 sets of equipment including welding, cutting and machining, and a metallic structural factory with main products of auto anode jacking frame, anode jacking systems, ladles, point feeders, crust breakers, anode clamps, anode assembly (steel yoke, Anode Clamp, anode rod, clad welded together), a foundry factory for all kinds of casting items, and an explosion factory for bi-metal transition blocks.

How an aluminum smelter is made

图片
In an aluminum smelter usually we find several hundred pot, housed in one or more large buildings called potrooms. Inside the potroom the cells are electrically connected in series. This means that the cathode of a cell is connected with the anode rod of the next cell downstream. The electrical connection of one cell to the next one is made with a complicated system of aluminum bars with cross sectional areas suitable to transport the so high currents used with minimum voltage drops. In the most recent smelters the cells are arranged in a side by side configuration, which makes easier to lessen the adverse effects of the magnetic fields. In older smelters it’s easy to find also the end-to-end configuration. As we have seen, a cell for its basic functioning needs alumina, carbon anodes and electrical current. In an aluminum smelter, hence, together with the potroom, we find other buildings and sub plants which deliver to the potroom carbon anodes, alumina and electrical

There are two primary technologies using the Hall–Héroult process

There are two primary technologies using the Hall–Héroult process: Söderberg technology and prebake technology. In Söderberg or self-baking anodes using cells, there is a single anode per electrolysis cell  Aluminum smelter equipment . The anode is in a frame and as the bottom of the anode turns mainly into CO2 during the electrolysis the anode loses mass and being amorphous it slowly sinks within its frame. More material to the top of the anode is continuously added in the form of briquettes made from coke and pitch. The lost heat from the smelting operation is used to bake the briquettes into the carbon form required for reaction with alumina. This baking process in Söderberg anodes during electrolysis releases more carcinogenic PAHs and other pollutants than electrolysis with prebaked anodes and partially for this reason prebaked anodes using cells have become more common in aluminum industry. More alumina is added to the electrolyte from the sides of the Söderberg anode after the

Disruption at Sohar Aluminum to last up to 6 months

图片
Production at Oman's Sohar Aluminum could be disrupted by as much as six months, sources said Thursday, following the "interruption" of smelting operations after an "incident" reported by the company last Friday. A trader said he expects the plant to remain closed for four to six months, with at least 150,000 mt of aluminum production lost. A second source, an aluminum producer, said he had heard it could take even longer than six months to fully restore operations, despite official statements there would be no long-term impact. "Sohar Aluminum refutes any unofficial statements, remarks, claims or communication circulated on social media, networking platforms, digital or print," according to a statement posted on the company's website since Monday. "There are no long-term implications on the daily operations of the company and we will resume normal operations at the earliest," the statement said, with the situation "immediately contr
