Christos Zarganis of AoG (Greece) made a presentation on the major reconstruction of the central casing of its open top baking furnace with a view to increase its lifespan and reduce the total costs comparing to full reconstruction. The article details the technical challenges and innovative solutions as well as the project and operation organization […]

ICSOBA, Krasnoyarsk

At the 37th ICSOBA conference, R Chahine presented a paper on the design of magnetic solutions using MHD code to study the stability of aluminium electrolysis pots and the role it can play in using boosters in smelters in order to develop and test new AP technology pot improvements and in calculating the pot MHD […]
