Aluminium SmelterGermanyCO₂ reported
Voerde aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Germany with a reported capacity of 48,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Trimet Aluminium SE. By capacity it ranks #6 of 6 aluminium smelters tracked in Germany. It emits about 103,812 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 24,199 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673052.
На мощности 48,000 t of alumina/aluminum Voerde aluminium plant — это ниже медианная aluminium smelter в Germany (85,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Подсектор: aluminum. Как aluminium smelter, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 600–900°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Алюминиевые плавильни используют большие электрические токи для рафинирования глинозёма в расплавленный алюминий выше 900°C, и расплавленный металл должен течь через тигли и литейное оборудование.
Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
