Learn all about the fundamentals behind pot ventilation and scrubbing of ventilation gases. Pot ventilation is a balance between emissions, heat extraction from cells and recovery of fluoride:

• Generation of process gases from electrolysis
• Design of pot exhaust flow for gas collection and heat discharge
• Gas cooling options including HEX technology
• Dry scrubbing with alumina

And much more.

Learn all about SO₂ scrubbing in primary aluminium smelting. It is a unique application that is constantly evolving.  Especially today when sulfur emissions are more and more on the radar of regulators:

• How to establish a plantwide sulfur balance
• Screening of applicable scrubbing processes
• Detailed review of selected processes for SO₂ removal
• Aspects of integration in the smelter

And much more.

For many smelters it is still a challenge what to do with the spent potlining (SPL) also known as cathode waste.  We are independent and have a deep understanding of what happens with SPL on a worldwide basis.  We know how it is processed and we can share this knowledge with you and your team.

Key topics of the training are:

• The formation of SPL
• Delining of cells and storage facilities
• Technologies and methods to process SPL
• Technology selection tools
• SPL strategy development

And more.

If your company has specific training needs, then let us know.  With the available experience and training materials a dedicated training program can be put together for your team.

Here are some suggestions:

• Prepare technical specifications and bid analysis of new GTCs and FTCs.
• Back-to-basics meaning how to reset your GTC operation to stabilize pot flows, filter operations and alumina enrichment.
• Economic analysis of dry alumina scrubbers like GTC and FTC systems
• How to use HEX technologies in pot ventilation systems, GTCs and FTCs.
• GTC and/or FTC operational training.

And much more.  Let us know and we will find a solution for your training needs.
