MÖLLER Alumina Handling Systems – High performance, high efficiency

About FLSmidth

FLSmidth® is a market-leading sup-plier of equipment and services to the global minerals and cement industries. FLSmidth supplies everything from single machine units to complete min-erals and cement flow sheets including associated services.

With more than 15,000 employees, FLSmidth is a global company with headquarters in Denmark and local presence in more than 50 countries including project and technology centres in Denmark, India, USA and Germany.

FLSmidth has over the past 131 years developed a business culture based on three fundamental values: competence, responsibility and cooperation.

It is FLSmidth’s vision to be the cus-tomers’ preferred full-service provider of sustainable minerals and cement technologies. This is reflected in fo-cused research and development ef-forts aimed at fulfilling customers’ future needs in terms of innovative technical solutions, high reliability and availability, minimum environmental impact and the lowest possible product lifecycle costs.

FLSmidth’s in-house resources are primarily engineers who develop, plan, design, install and service equipment, with most manufacturing being out-sourced to a global network of subcon-tractors. This has proven to be both a robust and sustainable business model. FLSmidth therefore has a flexible cost structure, which makes it possible to plan and adjust resources to prevailing market conditions.

FLSmidth is a learning organization, and our people are our most valu-able resource. FLSmidth’s strategy entails strong emphasis on select-ing, attracting and retaining the right people who can support value creation in FLSmidth.

FLSmidth in the alumina business

FLSmidth first entered the alumina in-dustry more than 100 years ago. Today FLSmidth has an experienced team of engineers and support staff with extensive alumina experience located in offices around the world – and offers the latest equipment for most areas of an alumina plant.

Red side, white side and alumina handling Based on the Bayer process, invented by the Austrian chemist Josef Bayer, the alumina production process can be split into a ‘red side’ and a ‘white side’.

Red side solutions

FLSmidth offers equipment for the complete bauxite handling, storage, crushing and grinding flowsheet, com-plementing the digestion or dissolution of bauxite in hot caustic liquor. This is followed by the complete Settler-Washer train flowsheet for Red Mud using the leading technology acquired from Dorr-Oliver Eimco.

White side solutions

FLSmidth offers white side equip-ment, covering the complete flow-sheet after the hydrate precipitation process, including MÖLLER equipment technology for alumina handling and load-out.

Overall, FLSmidth equipment covers more than 50 percent of the equip-ment needs of a complete alumina plant, from the bauxite mine to the above refinery equipment. In addition,

FLSmidth also offers all equipment for alumina handling in the smelters.

MÖLLER Technology

Through its MÖLLER® technology, FLSmidth specializes in design, en-gineering, procurement, erection and commissioning of pneumatic material handling systems for turnkey projects and components for the alumina indus-try. Our capabilities of handling fresh alumina, reacted alumina, crushed bath and aluminium fluoride comprise:

• Large capacity storage silos (up to 85.000 t realized) including anti-

segregation filling and discharge

• MÖLLER airlift conveying systems (up to 6oo t/h realized)

• Pressure vessel dense phase con- veying either with MÖLLER Turbu- flow® or our standard conveying pipe

• MÖLLER screw pump conveying systems

• Truck/wagon loading and unload- ing stations

• Dosage systems

• MÖLLER Fluidflow® pipe air slide and rectangular air slide conveying systems

• MÖLLER direct pot feeding sys- tems either with 100% MÖLLER Fluidflow pipe air slide conveyi- ing technology or as a hybrid of MÖLLER Turbuflow conveying pipe and MÖLLER Fluidflow pipe air slide

• PTM filling stations

• Modular designed systems – plug and play -

For more than 75 years the MÖLLER® brand has stood for high quality stan-dard systems with more than 5.000 references worldwide.

Presently FLSmidth‘s Hamburg office is executing three main orders in the aluminum smelter industry.

1. Emirates Aluminium Smelter Phase2 – with a length of 1.640 m the longest pot rooms ever build - FLSmidth is sup-

plying two MÖLLER direct pot feeding systems, reacted alumina silos, PTM filling stations, fresh alumina truck unloading stations and pressure vessel dense phase conveying systems for a mix of crushed bath/alumina oxide.

2. UC RUSAL/RusHydro’s Boguchan-sky Aluminium Smelter - A MÖLLER direct pot feeding system is under installation.

3. CVG ALCASA, Venezuela - Supplyof a MÖLLER pot feed system for two production lines consisting of a total of 400 electrolytic cells. The installation and commissioning has to be executed during operation of the smelter and shows the high adaptability of this proven technology to serve brown-field aluminium smelters.
