Aluminium SmelterBosnia and HerzegovinaCO₂ reported

Birac Zvornik Alumina Factory is an aluminium smelter in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a reported capacity of 350,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Pavgord doo. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 aluminium smelters tracked in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It emits about 406,922 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 94,854 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 44% below the median aluminium smelter.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 350,000 t of alumina/aluminum Birac Zvornik Alumina Factory — це приблизно медіана aluminium smelter у Bosnia and Herzegovina (350,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 18% 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.
