Muri Alumina Plant

Muri Alumina Plant is an aluminium smelter in India with a reported capacity of 575,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Hindalco Industries Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 20 aluminium smelters tracked in India. It emits about 1,201,597 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 280,093 cars.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 575,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Muri Alumina Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des aluminium smelter en India (360,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Sous-secteur: aluminum. Comme aluminium smelter, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 600–900°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les fonderies d'aluminium utilisent de grands courants électriques pour raffiner l'alumine en aluminium fondu au-dessus de 900°C, et le métal chaud doit s'écouler à travers des creusets et des équipements de coulée.
