CastAl aims to demonstrate selected techniques to determine energy losses, preheating of metal, increased recycling amount, new monitoring and control of melting furnace and lower dross formation, resulting in yield increase and reduced energy consumption to approximately 500 kWh/t by 2014. Hydro and SAPA will collaborate with Sintef and NTNU to: -Determine heat losses over complete process line -Define optimized parameters and conditions for preheating and melting of pure and scrap Al in optimal atmos phere in casthouses, enabling lower energy consumption and lower metal loss -Optimise operation and control through measuring and monitoring equipment in cast houses -Investigate several parameters for process optimisation to increase metal yield -Opti mize and implement best practice on furnaces for pre-heating of scrap, leading to reduced energy consumption -Transfer knowledge relating to energy efficiency and yield as efficiently as possible into existing processes within Hydro/SAPA.
