Zhovtnevyi District

Zhovtnevyi District is an aluminium smelter in Ukraine with a reported capacity of 86,972 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 aluminium smelters tracked in Ukraine. It emits about 123,153 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 28,707 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% below the median aluminium smelter.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673142.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 86,972 t of alumina/aluminum, Zhovtnevyi District é abaixo de a mediana de aluminium smelter em Ukraine (1,600,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsetor: aluminum. Como aluminium smelter, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 600–900°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As fundições de alumínio usam grandes correntes elétricas para refinar alumina em alumínio fundido acima de 900°C, e o metal quente deve fluir através de cadinhos e equipamentos de fundição.
