Cel
To build a demonstration plant for the calcination of anodes (to be used in the electrolysis of aluminium) in tunnel-type continuous ovens, with energy saving both at the production stage and while in use.
To build a demonstration plant consisting of two tunnel anodes to calcinate ovens with the following objectives:
- decrease in energy consumption through improvementof the thermal cycle.
- increased recovery of energy through adequate heat recovery equipments.
- energy saving in the use of the anodes thanks to improved physico-chemical characteristics of the finished anodes.
- reduced pollution in the calcination steps.
- improved working environment for the personnel.
- lower operating costs.
The pilot plant will be built in the Alusuisse Italia SpA plant in Porto Marghera (Venezia).
For a production of 72,000 t/yr of anodes (having each a length of 1,150 mm) the savings are:
- saving in production 5,134 TOE/yr
- saving in use 6,537 TOE/yr
Total saving 11,671 TOE/yr
The plant will consist of a pre-heating tunnel and a tunnel-type oven with the necessary conveyors. In the second stage a second calcination tunnel will be added to reach the 72,000 TOE/yr capacity.
The first stage started on 1.10.85 and is due to be completed by 30.11.87; it will include the development of the energy saving thermal cycle. The building of the second phase (second tunnel) is scheduled to start 1.11.87 and to be completed by 31.3.89.
