Dubai dx pot technology successful path from prototypes to industrial projects
In Q4 2005, DUBAL commissioned five test pots to prove its new in house technology called DX technology expected to operate at 340 kA. The excellent electrical, magnetic and thermal balance of the pots turned this project into a great success.Less than two and half year later, in February 2008, DUBAL commissioned a demonstration line of 40 DX pots equipped with in house developed cell controllers called DCCUs. Thanks to sound operating practises, the performance of this potline went beyond expectations nd pots have been operating successfully at Amperage ranging from 350 kA to 370 kA. Current efficiencies exceeded 95.5％ and net specific energy consumptions went below 12.95 kWh/kg of aluminium produced. Anode effect frequency has been consistently maintained well below 0.02AE/pot/day.Emirates Aluminium (Emal) 740 kt smelter using DX technology has entered commissioning ph ase in December 2009.
