Abstract
PT. Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) — hereinafter referred to as Inalum is the pioneer of the aluminium smelter in South East Asia region. It was designed by Sumitomo Chemical and started up in February 1982 with the original capacity was 225,000 Tons/year of ingot and 175 kA of amperage.
After transforming to be State Owned Company in the end of 2013 year, Inalum had an ambition to continue the optimizing of production to be 300,000 Tons/year of ingots in 2019 year. For the first step, in 2014, Inalum successfully increased production up to 264,474 Tons/year of ingots (more 17.5% than original capacity) by increasing Line current up to 207 kA.
The technical improvement objectives are increasing of production capacity by new alumina feeding system, new pot design, anode performance improvement and implementation of water turbine efficiency.
