Tongshuan Xinguang aluminium plant

Tongshuan Xinguang aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in China with a reported capacity of 110,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Tongchuan Xinguang Aluminium Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #126 of 141 aluminium smelters tracked in China. It emits about 200,918 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 46,834 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 13% below the median aluminium smelter.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 110,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Tongshuan Xinguang aluminium plant jest poniżej medianę aluminium smelter w China (372,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Podsektor: aluminum. Jako aluminium smelter, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 600–900°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Huty aluminium używają dużych prądów elektrycznych do rafinacji tlenku glinu w stopiony aluminium powyżej 900°C, a metal w stanie gorącym musi płynąć przez tygle i urządzenia do odlewania.
