Alba adds new rectiformer to Line 5
MANAMA, February 25, 2015
Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has successfully integrated an additional Line 5 Rectiformer (R50), a critical piece of power equipment in the smelting process.
The addition of R50 will further enhance Alba’s ability to meet future creep capacity objectives as well as provide added backup protection, said a statement.
The project, which was managed by Alba Power Department, was achieved with a remarkable 223,000 man-hours of work without a single loss time injury (LTI), it said.
It was executed in 22 months without impacting metal production.
Amin Sultan, director for Power, said: “Alba is committed to remain a globally competitive smelter, and continually focusses on lean management and operational efficiency.
“Completion of this project is a very good example of coordinated efforts of interdepartmental teams and I applaud their efforts for the emphasis placed on safety.” - TradeArabia News Service
