Garmco Aluminum Remelting Factory Held Ground-breaking Ceremony

Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mills Company (Garmco) invested 55 million US dollars of aluminum remelting factory，which held ground-breaking ceremony in Bahrain.
The factory is a three-year project. The purpose is to improve the company’s profitability. Excavate local and international market opportunities. It is estimated that the completed in November, 2017. After the completion of the factory can produce aluminum billets of 120000t, which can provide 50 jobs. That can resulting in significant cost savings. France Fives Group and Garmco reached a engineering general contract for the project.

Zayed AL Zayani, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism of Bahrain and Mathias Fekl, Minister of Foreign Trade attended the ground-breaking ceremony.
Jean-Baptiste Lucas, chief executive officer of Garmco, said: the project is consistent with the company’s overall strategic development, which will become the leading aluminum recycler, which collaboration with leading partners will further build the ability to cross global markets.
Garmco's annual output is 160,000 tonnes in Bahrain, which can produce aluminum foil of 20,000 tons. The sales were approximately $ 450 million in 2014 . But because due to weak LME prices, the sales and production fell by about 10% in 2015. which the 75% of the output sold to markets other than GCC. Last year, the United States contributed 20-25% of the sales to become the best performing market. The Middle East have 8-10% of the sales ranked second.

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

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
