في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 86,972 t of alumina/aluminum، يكون Zhovtnevyi District أقل من متوسط aluminium smelter في Ukraine (1,600,000 t of alumina/aluminum). القطاع الفرعي: aluminum. كـ aluminium smelter، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 600–900°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تستخدم مصاهر الألومنيوم تيارات كهربائية كبيرة لتحسين الألومينا إلى ألومنيوم مذاب فوق 900°C، ويجب أن يتدفق المعدن الساخن عبر البواتق ومعدات الصب.
