  • Posted: 14-06-2021

 Bharat Aluminium Company (BALCO), India's iconic aluminium producer is a strong proponent of leveraging next-generation technology to make its manufacturing process sustainable and reducing carbon footprint.

BALCO has reduced its power consumption in its 'potline 1' at its smelter in Chhattisgarh to 12,862 KWH/MT which is at par with global standards.

This potline has hence, the best performance amongst potlines in India and the Gulf countries in terms of specific power consumption and has thus reduced its carbon footprint significantly. A smelter is a plant where aluminium is produced through the process of smelting, which involves extracting it from its oxide, alumina.

A potline is a long building, or collection of buildings, which contain a series of "pots", or large. electrolytic cells, in which aluminium is made. The company has achieved this benchmark by deploying a smart combination of high-end technology and indigenous innovations.
