Birth of a New KAZ: Installed 2000 Tons of Metal Bodies for Modern Assembly Lines (on KAZ)
At the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant, the environmental overhaul is in full swing: 2,000 tons of metal framework have already been installed for new buildings where aluminum will be manufactured using cutting-edge technology.
These metal skeletons will serve as the foundation for the walls and ceilings of the new facilities, where state-of-the-art RA-550 electrolyzers will be set up. These machines allow for the production of aluminum with significantly reduced emissions of benzapyrene and a whopping 66% decrease in ftoirids emissions.
In total, emissions of benzapyrene at the KrAZ will drop more than half, by 54%, and ftoirids emissions will decrease by 43%.
Let's refresh our memory: these new technologies for baked anodes are RUSAL engineers' own inventions.
The transformation of KrAZ is one of the largest environmental projects in the region. Its goal is to significantly reduce the impact on the environment.
"We're not just updating production, but shaping the future of the aluminum industry - an eco-friendly, technologically advanced, and safe one. The new KrAZ will set an example for the entire industry," remarks Andrej Zavadjak, the head of the modernization of the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant.
Plans call for the replacement of half of the plant: construction and reconstruction of nearly 120 items of main and auxiliary production and infrastructure. Two new manufacturing buildings, for which the metal framework is currently being installed, will replace half of the old facilities of the plant.
By the way, keep an eye on the construction of the new buildings at the aluminum giant and the environmental reconstruction of the KrAZ – it's all being broadcast live from the construction site.
