Achinsk Alumina Plant
Achinsk Alumina Combine (AGC) is the largest alumina production enterprise in Russia. Located in the city Achinsk Krasnoyarsk Territory. It is a part of the aluminum company "RUSAL". Official name-Joint Stock Company "RUSAL Achinsk Alumina Plant"; abbreviated name-JSC "RUSAL Achinsk". There is a CHPP of the Achinsk alumina plant.
History
For the development of the domestic aluminum industry, as part of the creation of an energy and metallurgical complex in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (as part of the Achinsk Alumina Plant, Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant and Krasnoyarsk hydroelectricpower station), the government of the USSR on July 5 , 1955 decided to build a nepheline mine and an alumina plant near the city of Achinsk on the basis of the Kiya-Shaltyrskoye deposit. The first alumina at the plant was obtained in 1970.
Production
AGK processes nepheline ore to produce G-00 alumina, sodaash, aluminum hydroxide, and potassium sulfate.
The design capacity of the plant is 900 thousand tons of alumina per year. Since 2002, alumina production has exceeded its design capacity and in 2008 amounted to 1.069 million tons. The AGC's raw material base consists of the Kiya-Shaltyrsky nepheline mine (Kemerovo region), where open-pit mining is carried out, and the Mazul limestone deposit mine (Achinsk). AGK operates using a unique technology developed by the All-Russian (All-Union) Aluminum-Magnesium Institute (VAMI). It is based on the method of sintering nepheline ore with limestone and subsequent hydrochemical processing of the sinter. AGK is the only company in the world engaged in industrial processing of nepheline ore.
Alumina from the plant is supplied to Krasnoyarskregion, Fraternal, Irkutskregion, Sayanogorsk and Novokuznetsk aluminum plants. Soda ash is sold in Russia and neighboring countries.
The plant is certified for compliance with ISO:9001, ISO:14001, OHSAS:18001 standards.
