Seydisehir aluminium plant

Seydisehir aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 75,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Eti Alüminyum Inc. It emits about 145,010 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 33,802 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median aluminium smelter.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-43765125.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 75,000 t of alumina/aluminum ist Seydisehir aluminium plant etwa um dem Medianwert von aluminium smelter in Türkiye (75,000 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.
