A highlight of the Control of Potline Scrubber & Fugitive Emissions for Aluminum Smelters Course is a half-day plant tour at Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA)’s Al Taweelah Smelter (formerly EMAL). The tour will take place on the morning of Tuesday, May 17. The site visit will include:
- A walk-through in potline 3 where EGA operates their flagship pot technology DX+ (>450 kA) in the world’s longest potline. During the visit EGA specialists will explain their environmental emission management, hooding management, and boosted suction system that gives them excellent results.
