Pavlodar Alumina Refinery (KAS)

Pavlodar Alumina Refinery (KAS) is an aluminium smelter in Kazakhstan with a reported capacity of 1,500,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Eurasian Resources Group SARL. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 aluminium smelters tracked in Kazakhstan. It emits about 3,134,601 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 730,676 cars.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1,500,000 t of alumina/aluminum ist Pavlodar Alumina Refinery (KAS) deutlich über dem Medianwert von aluminium smelter in Kazakhstan (265,000 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.
