As part of the amperage increase of their electrolysis pots, Sohar Aluminium wants to improve the processing capacity of the two existing Gas Treatment Centers (GTC) supplied by Fives Solios.
In December 2010, Fives Solios was awarded a contract for a water spraying system into the ducts upstream of the GTC, in addition to air dilution, for better efficiency of gas cooling.
This system, from RTA technology, represents an alternative solution to cool down the gases at the Centers’ inlets, in order to allow the smelters to boost their potline amperage, and particularly for smelters of high capacity in the Gulf region, where ambient temperatures are very high during summer months.
