ABB為迪拜煉鋁廠提供升級(jí)

Houston, TX, May 27, 2008 – ABB won an $18-million contract from Dubai Aluminum Company Limited (DUBAL) for additional electrical and automation system upgrades at the company’s 480-hectare smelter complex in Dubai. The order follows the $53-million order placed by DUBAL for this project earlier this year.

休斯頓5月27日消息——ABB從迪拜鋁業(yè)有限公司(DUBAL)贏得了一份價(jià)值1千8百萬(wàn)美元的合同，為后者在迪拜的占地480公頃冶煉廠提供更多的電氣和自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)升級(jí)。該訂單是繼今年早些時(shí)候迪拜鋁業(yè)公司為本項(xiàng)目下的價(jià)值5千3百萬(wàn)美元訂單之后的又一訂單。

DUBAL operates one of the largest single-site aluminum smelters in the world, having produced approximately 890,000 tons of aluminum in 2007. It is one of the largest non-oil contributors to Dubai’s economy.

迪拜鋁業(yè)有限公司運(yùn)營(yíng)著世界上最大的單一煉鋁廠之一，2007年的產(chǎn)量大約為89萬(wàn)噸鋁。它是迪拜經(jīng)濟(jì)最大的非石油貢獻(xiàn)者之一。

“ABB’s proven track record of delivering results, combined with our comprehensive service and product portfolio, are crucial to the success of our customers like DUBAL,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “Over the years, our leading-edge solutions have helped DUBAL continue to grow their capacity while improving their productivity and energy efficiency.”

ABB過(guò)程自動(dòng)化事業(yè)部主管Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“ABB經(jīng)過(guò)證明了的交付成果記錄，再加上我們?nèi)娴姆?wù)和產(chǎn)品組合，是我們比如迪拜鋁業(yè)這樣的客戶成功的關(guān)鍵。多年來(lái)，我們領(lǐng)先的解決方案已經(jīng)幫助迪拜鋁業(yè)繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)其產(chǎn)能，同時(shí)高它們的生產(chǎn)力和能源效率。”

Under the terms of the contract, ABB will add one additional high-voltage regulating transformer (rectiformer, used to convert alternating current to direct current) rated at 100 megavolt amperes, to increase capacity in two smelting potlines.

根據(jù)合同條款，ABB將添加另外一個(gè)額定100兆伏安倍的高壓調(diào)節(jié)變壓器（整流變壓器，用來(lái)把交流電轉(zhuǎn)換為直流電），以增加兩個(gè)冶煉電解電池列的產(chǎn)能。

ABB will provide design, installation and commissioning services for the project, and upgrade the DC collector bar on two potlines. The delivery includes control and protection systems, as well two new ABB SCADA systems for the rectiformer station control.

ABB將為該項(xiàng)目提供設(shè)計(jì)、安裝以及調(diào)試服務(wù)，以及升級(jí)那兩個(gè)電解電池列直流電收集棒。交付的包括控制和保護(hù)系統(tǒng)，以及兩個(gè)用于整流變壓器站控制的ABB SCADA新系統(tǒng)。

This order is in addition to the $53-million contract awarded by DUBAL earlier this year, as well as other projects for DUBAL. In 2006, ABB was commissioned to deliver a similar scope of supply for an earlier expansion of this smelter complex.

該合同是迪拜鋁業(yè)今年早些時(shí)候授予的價(jià)值5千3百萬(wàn)美元合同以及其他一些項(xiàng)目之外的又一訂單。在2006年，ABB被委托為這家冶煉廠更早前的擴(kuò)展提供了類(lèi)似的供應(yīng)范圍。

Commissioning of the new units is scheduled for completion in late 2009.

新系統(tǒng)的調(diào)試計(jì)劃在2009年末完成。
