Arrangement av installasjoner i et elektrolyseanlegg for produksjon av aluminium

摘要

The object of the invention is an arrangement of an electrolysis plant for the production of aluminium using the Hall-Heroult process, with which it is possible to limit the pathway length of heavy flows, such as flows of liquid aluminium. According to the invention, the plant comprises:at least one liquid aluminium production zone (H) comprising electrolysis pots arranged in lines,specific operational support zones, including a zone (C) grouping together the supply and recycling installations for anode assemblies, a zone (B) grouping together the supply and recycling installations for electrolysis baths, and a zone (A) grouping together the liquid aluminium processing installations,transport means to convey so-called heavy intermediate products (such as liquid aluminium) between said operational zones,at least one transit zone (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 110, 111, 112, 113) reserved for all or part of said transport means for the heavy intermediate products.
