A global aluminum producer announced the pilot operation of eight new generation RA-550 pots after three years of technology development.

UC Rusal states that high energy efficiency is the key advantage of the new RA-550 pots, which consume 10-15% less electricity versus pots of previous generations.

‘The distinctive feature [of the RA-550 technology] is lower electricity consumption and the best environmental indicators among all companies of the industry,” said Victor Mann, Technical Director of Rusal. “Given the competitiveness of this project and its parameters, this technology can be demanded both during upgrading the existing smelters of the company and when constructing new facilities.”
