Our alumina refineries are located at Utkal, Renukoot, Muri and Belagavi. Alumina produced from these facilities is largely utilised for our internal operations to manufacture aluminium. Excess alumina beyond our internal requirements is sold to third parties both in the form of standard alumina and specialty alumina.
The accumulated overflows from gravity settling may still contain a small amount of fine suspended solid matter. If these particles are allowed to pass into the precipitation process, they would contaminate the product with, for example, iron and titanium compounds. This will then affect …

Most alumina refineries have multiple filters that need to be monitored for production efficiency and damage. On each of the 20 filters, safety rated pressure transmitters are used in conjunction with the STA – Safety Trip Alarm. The STA acts as the safety logic solver, used to close the final control element - a spring loaded failsafe valve.

2. Global Subsector Leader, Bauxite and Alumina, Advisian, Brisbane, Australia Corresponding author: andrew.furlong@advisian Abstract Alumina refineries must continually improve to remain competitive. However, sustaining any improvement presents a challenge due to the complexity of the refining process. Cost reduction
Our alumina refinery is widely hailed as having transformed one of the most underprivileged regions of the country to bring it into the socio-economic mainstream of the state of Odisha. Aluminium Smelter, Jharsuguda (Odisha) We operate the world's largest aluminium plant at Jharsuguda, Odisha. The plant has 1.8 MTPA aluminium smelting ...
Normally, mud is filtered at the alumina refinery using drums vacuum filters and trucked to the embarkment ponds. In a few refineries by the application of hyperbaric filters, the solid content has been increased up to 75 wt%. Consolidation of solids and water management are similar to wet disposal (Suchita Rai, 2012).
Pioneer Alumina refinery is constructed to the highest international standards with basic engineering provided by Worley Parsons (Australia), detailed engineering done by SNC India, and co gen Power Plant designed by MN Dastur&Co. AluminPro Canada were the owner's engineers for the refinery project
