Dak Nong Nhan Co Bauxite Mine & Alumina Refinery

Dak Nong Nhan Co Bauxite Mine & Alumina Refinery is an aluminium smelter in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 720,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Holding Corp Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 aluminium smelters tracked in Vietnam. It emits about 1,504,608 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 350,724 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-43764976.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 720,000 t of alumina/aluminum ist Dak Nong Nhan Co Bauxite Mine & Alumina Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von aluminium smelter in Vietnam (108,850 t of alumina/aluminum). Untersektor: aluminum. Als aluminium smelter benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 600–900°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Aluminiumhütten nutzen große Elektroströme, um Tonerde in geschmolzenes Aluminium über 900°C zu raffinieren, und das heiße Metall muss durch Tiegel und Gießausrüstung fließen.
