Vlasenica Canton

Vlasenica Canton is an aluminium smelter in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a reported capacity of 14,836 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 Bosnia and Herzegovina. It emits about 21,008 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 4,897 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% below the median aluminium smelter.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

14,836 t of alumina/aluminum'de, Vlasenica Canton Bosnia and Herzegovina'daki aluminium smelter'lerin medyanı altında 350,000 t of alumina/aluminum'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.
