Aluminium Smelter in India. Approximate location 24.23081, 82.43657.

Aluminium SmelterIndiaCO₂ reported

Bargwan aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in India with a reported capacity of 360,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Hindalco Industries Ltd. By capacity it ranks #10 of 20 aluminium smelters tracked in India. It emits about 696,046 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 162,248 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median aluminium smelter.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 360,000 t of alumina/aluminum Bargwan aluminium plant — це приблизно медіана aluminium smelter у India (360,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 7% нижче медіани aluminium smelter. Підсектор: aluminum. Як aluminium smelter, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 600–900°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Алюмінієві плавильні використовують великі електричні струми для рафінування глинозему в розплавлений алюміній вище 900°C, і розплавлений метал повинен текти через тиглі та ливарне обладнання.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
