Pikalyovo Alumina Refinery

Pikalyovo Alumina Refinery is an aluminium smelter in Russian Federation with a reported capacity of 244,940 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by United Company RUSAL PJSC. By capacity it ranks #10 of 17 aluminium smelters tracked in Russian Federation. It emits about 284,775 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,381 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 44% below the median aluminium smelter.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

244,940 t of alumina/aluminum'de, Pikalyovo Alumina Refinery Russian Federation'daki aluminium smelter'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 300,000 t of alumina/aluminum'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si aluminium smelter'nin medyanı altında kabaca 49%'dir. Alt sektör: aluminum. aluminium smelter olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 600–900°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Alüminyum eritmeleri, alüminayı 900°C'nin üstündeki eritilmiş alüminyuma rafine etmek için büyük elektrik akımları kullanır ve sıcak metal pota ve dökme ekipmanı aracılığıyla akmalıdır.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
