EGA-patented approach to anode current measurement improves cell operations and increases productivity

摘要

The production of metallic aluminium fromaluminium oxide the world over is achievedusing just one continuous industrial process,named after its discoverers Hall and Héroult.The process employed by all primary aluminiumsmelters involves fused salt electrolysisin long lines of electrolytic reduction cellsconnected in series. For optimum productivity,it is essential that the cells be very wellmanaged – which, in turn, calls for continuousand accurate monitoring of key componentsof the aluminium smelting process.EGA is steadily further developing the reductionprocess and related technologies, soas to increase productivity and enhance efficiency.To protect the associated intellectualproperty, the company submits applicationsto patent its proprietary developments.
