Feed Strategy Optimization in Aluminum Smelters
Challenge
Difficult to maintain the bath temperature and excess ALF3 in the specified range
Shift engineer experience driving ALF3 addition directly impact the performance of the smelters productivity
Solution
Advanced Conditioning for identifying the deviations in the bath temperature and excess ALF3
Used historical data to model the required ALF3 feed to be added for optimal operations
Result
6-10% decrease in unplanned downtime
Reduction in process variability by 35-40%
