Upgrades to expand capacity of largest aluminum smelter in Western world

為西方世界最大的鋁冶煉廠升級(jí)擴(kuò)容

Zurich, Switzerland, November 13, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has been awarded a $39 million contract by Dubai Aluminium Company (Dubal) to upgrade rectifier, transformer and automation systems at its 480-hectare smelter complex in Dubai.

瑞士蘇黎世11月13日消息——全球領(lǐng)先的電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)集團(tuán)ABB今天宣布其獲得了迪拜鋁業(yè)公司(Dubal)一份價(jià)值3900萬美元合同，升級(jí)Dubal占地480公頃、位于Dubai的混合冶煉廠的整流器、變壓器以及自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)。

The project includes replacing five high-voltage regulating rectifier transformers (rectiformers) with larger units rated at 86 megavolt amperes (MVA), to increase capacity and allow Dubal to combine two smelting potlines. Rectifiers are devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

該工程包括將五個(gè)高壓整流變壓器替換為額定功率86兆伏安（MVA）的整流器，以提高容量以及使Dubal合并現(xiàn)有的兩個(gè)冶煉電解池。整流器是一種將交流電轉(zhuǎn)換為直流電的儀器。

ABB is also supplying control and protection systems as well as 250 kiloampere (kA) field-oriented measuring equipment. ABB will upgrade existing systems including high-voltage cables, low-voltage and control cables, fire-detection and fire-fighting equipment.

ABB還將提供控制和保護(hù)系統(tǒng)，以及250千安培現(xiàn)場(chǎng)導(dǎo)向的測(cè)量設(shè)備。ABB將升級(jí)現(xiàn)有系統(tǒng)，包括高壓電纜、低壓和控制電纜、火災(zāi)探測(cè)和消防設(shè)備。

“Our decades of metals-industry expertise are helping customers like Dubai Aluminium achieve more efficient production systems,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “The combination of standard ABB products and application-specific knowledge means we can install advanced solutions quickly.”

ABB過程自動(dòng)化部主管Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“我們?cè)诮饘傩袠I(yè)數(shù)十年的專業(yè)技術(shù)幫助例如迪拜鋁業(yè)公司這樣的客戶實(shí)現(xiàn)了更有效率的生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)。ABB的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)產(chǎn)品和特殊應(yīng)用知識(shí)的結(jié)合，使我們可以快速地安裝高端解決方案?！?/P>

Dubai Aluminium operates the largest single-site aluminum smelter in the Western world, with an annual output exceeding 850,000 metric tons. Commissioning of the new ABB systems will begin during July 2007 and is set for completion in March 2008.

迪拜鋁業(yè)公司是西方世界最大的單點(diǎn)冶煉廠，年產(chǎn)量超過850000噸。ABB新系統(tǒng)的調(diào)試將在2007年7月開始，預(yù)計(jì)將在2008年3月完工。

ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 107,000 people.

ABB是電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)廠商，致力于為工業(yè)和電力行業(yè)客戶提供解決方案，以幫助客戶提高生產(chǎn)效率，同時(shí)降低對(duì)環(huán)境的不良影響。ABB集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球100多個(gè)國家，擁有大約107,000名雇員。
