01 November 2020
Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China, said the construction work is well under way on its Spent Pot Lining (SPL) treatment plant, a first-of-its-kind facility in the GCC and Middle East region.
Construction work began last year on the SPL treatment plant, which is being built over a 26,000-sq-m area. The project has achieved a 42 per cent completion rate clocking more than 178,000 safe working-hours without any loss time injury (LTI) to-date.
The Alba treatment plant, which is expected to start up by Q2 next year, will boast an annual capacity of 35,000 tonnes of SPL.
The project will provide a value-creating and sustainable solution to treat SPL with ensuring zero-waste, said Alba’s CEO Ali Al Baqali.
It is the first plant in the region to treat this type of waste, according to SCE Chief Executive Officer Dr Mohammed bin Dainah.
