The Alcoa Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) for Low Carbon Alumina Refining project will seek to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating MVR, powered by renewable energy, to electrify steam production in the alumina refining process thus displacing fossil fuelled boiler steam. Alumina is the feedstock for aluminium production. The alumina refining sector is a valuable contributor to Austral

Description
Description | The Alcoa Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) for Low Carbon Alumina Refining project will seek to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating MVR, powered by renewable energy, to electrify steam production in the alumina refining process thus displacing fossil fuelled boiler steam. Alumina is the feedstock for aluminium production. The alumina refining sector is a valuable contributor to Australia’s economy. It is currently a significant fossil fuel energy user and therefore greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter and is categorised as ‘difficult to abate’ along with many other heavy industries. This project plots a pathway to enable alumina refining to substantially reduce emissions by using renewable power to drive mechanical vapour recompressors to displace fossil fuel derived thermal energy. It aims to provide confidence in MVR technology to enable further development and deployment necessary to decarbonise the refining process. |
