ALUMINIUM
The lightweight among
champions
Aluminium is a recent material presenting many
advantages: aluminium is light and yet resistant
to corrosion. It is long-lived, low-maintenance
and can be recycled any number of times.
Aluminium reflects light and conducts heat
and electricity. In the aviation and automotive
industries it helps to save weight and therefore
fuel. On the construction site it contributes to the
energy efficiency of buildings. The foodstuff and
pharmaceutical industries value it as an ultrathin packaging material; and its extraordinary
properties are a convincing advantage in many
other industrial applications.
For many years, Dominion, under the brand of
Beroa, has been the competent partner of the
primary and secondary aluminium industries,
providing them with the refractory linings for their
furnaces. Whether selecting the suitable material,
designing and assembling the installation, or providing repairs, we can offer the whole range of
refractory engineering from one source.
On the strength of our close collaboration with
many customers from the aluminium industry, we
are completely familiar with all kinds of smelting
or fossil fuels, whether we are installing refractory linings in induction furnaces or delivering a gas
purging set.
long, built with over 20,000TM of refractory material, were successfully lined in full compliance
with the high safety and quality standards, either
to the specified schedule or sooner. Also, for a
number of years, repairs on operating furnaces
have been conducted successfully. In this case,
the work is progressed with a so-called “open
window” of between 12 and 25 (ideally 23) anode
baking furnace chambers at the rate of the firing
system.
Demolition can be executed by mechanic means,
whenever feasible, or manually if the project requires it.
Dominion’s energy efficiency team can help you to
achieve significant energy reduction cost based
on:
- Hydraulic press electronic control, adjusting the
consumption to the working cycle.
- Waste heat recovery from furnaces and compressors, oriented to air and raw material
pre-heating and electrical generation.
Safety, quality and schedule
optimization.
The latest technologies like shotcreting or fast
heating-up mixes ensure efficiency when a new
installation is being done or an old furnace repaired.
The refractory lining of anode baking furnaces is
one of the specialized fields that has seen BEROA
achieve triumph of quality and logistics and elevated it to a leading position on the market. Sixty-five anode baking furnaces up to 200 metres
