| Abstract Scope |
Over the last 10 years Fives has developed a comprehensive Carbon Digital Chain to reduce anode production costs and to better control the cost impacts to the reduction line. This solution, called “AMELIOS Suite”, is built using three packages that cover the whole value chain: Green Anode, Baked Anode and Anode Usage. These packages can be implemented in existing or new smelters to benefit customer with lower Net Carbon Consumption and maximum use of the carbon below stubs. Using an Anode Tracking System in combination with the existing on-line anode resistivity analyser MIREA and the newly implemented SOFIA butts scanning system, it allows us to create an anode ID card with all the key production parameters. This data, uploaded in the smelter knowledge management system, allows us to understand how anode characteristics impact the potline and therefore fine tune process parameters to optimize carbon production. |
