Nalco's Koraput refinery to be commissioned in 3 weeks

03 Mar 2011 Evaluate

Nalco, Asia's largest integrated aluminium producer, will complete capacity expansion and fully commission its 5.25 lakh tonnes a year refinery at Damanjodi in Orissa's Koraput district in the next three weeks. In 2009-10, Nalco produced 15.9 lt of alumina.

Work on the last leg of the refinery's sixth stream is expected to be over in the next fortnight, and the commissioning will follow within a week from then. The first two months after commissioning, the capacity utilisation will be around 80 per cent. In June, cent per capacity utilisation is slated to be achieved. By 2011-12, Nalco will be utilising 90 per cent of the expanded capacity and 100 per cent of the old capacity.

The phase-II expansion project, including 240 MW of power generating capacity and additional smelting capacity of 1.15 lakh tonnes a year, in Angul, Orissa will be over with the commissioning of the refinery.
