ABB supplies automation for aluminum smelter in UAE

ABB為聯合阿拉伯酋長國煉鋁廠提供自動化系統

Baden, Switzerland, January 10, 2008 – ABB won a $30-million contract from Emirates Aluminum Company (EMAL) to supply a 220kV Gas Insulated Substation, automation and protection systems for a new aluminum smelter near Abu Dhabi. The order was booked during the third quarter of 2007.

瑞士Baden1月10日消息——ABB從阿聯酋鋁業公司贏得了一份價值3千萬美元的合同，為位于阿布扎比附近一個新的煉鋁廠提供一個220KV氣體絕緣變電站、自動化和保護系統。該訂單是在2007年第三季度期間取得的。

The new smelter will be located in Al Taweelah, close to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Initial start-up capacity in 2010 will be 700,000 tons per year; when completed, the smelter will have a total annual capacity of 1.4 million tons, making it the largest single site aluminum smelter in the world. This smelter project represents Abu Dhabi's entry into the global aluminum industry.

該新煉鋁廠將設在Al Taweelah，靠近阿拉伯聯合酋長國的阿布扎比。到2010年最初啟動的生產能力將是每年70萬噸，一旦整體完工，冶煉廠的總產能將達每年140萬噸，成為世界上最大的單個煉鋁廠。該冶煉項目代表阿布扎比踏入了全球鋁工業。 

ABB’s scope of supply during the first construction phase includes a 220kV Gas Insulated Substation to provide efficient, reliable power to the new smelter. ABB has more than 40 years of experience with High Voltage Gas Insulated Substations; these substations have a smaller footprint and lower operating and maintenance costs than traditional solutions. The delivery also includes System 800xA for process control, as well as the substation automation system.

ABB在首個建設期供應的范圍包括一個22KV的氣體絕緣變電站，為新冶煉廠提供高效、可靠的電力。ABB在高壓氣體絕緣變電站領域具有四十多年的經驗，這些變電站所占空間更小，比傳統解決方案所需的運營和維護成本更低。ABB交付的還包括用于過程控制以及變電站自動化系統的System 800xA 系統。

“By combining standard ABB products and systems with our industry-specific knowledge, we have established a strong track record for meeting customers’ needs in terms of productivity, reliability and energy efficiency,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “This important project illustrates the broad range of technologies and solutions we offer our customers in all industries to help them be competitive and successful.”
