Implementing Pot Operation Best Practice
LMRC has implemented current best practice standards in smelters around the world based on experience on the smelter production floor and a wealth of knowledge accumulated in research conducted in our labs and around the world.
The improved operational practices is standardised in order to get a consistent quality outcome from each and every operator impacting positively on the overall performance of the smelter. Using correct operation procedures in areas such as:
- Start-up
- Anode change
- Metal tap
- Liquid level measurements
will reduce carbon consumption, keep the pots operation stable, reduce energy consumption and increase current efficiency.
Having a quality operational practices and stable operation allows further reduction in cell voltage and energy consumption while maintaining high current efficiency
