ABB's integrated power solution for giant aluminum plant
ABB 為超大型鋁廠(chǎng)提供完整綜合電力解決方案
“ABB is the only company with the capability to supply an integrated power solution of this scope and complexity,” says Max Wiestner, industry manager for ABB’s aluminum business.
The 360-pot Sohar aluminum plant in
具有360個(gè)鋁罐的阿曼蘇哈爾鋁廠(chǎng)在2008年3月投產(chǎn)之后,將以36萬(wàn)噸的年產(chǎn)能成為世界上最大的鋁電解槽。蘇哈爾鋁廠(chǎng)是阿曼石油公司和阿布扎比水電局(ADWEA)以及加拿大鋁業(yè)公司(Alcan)的合資公司。
ABB’s scope of supply includes five giant 113 kA / 1650 VDC rectifier transformers – the most powerful ever built, each one weighing more than 300 tons – five AC 800PEC high-speed control and protection units for the rectifiers, a level-2 SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system for the rectifier station and gas insulated substation, and ABB’s recently launched and award-winning fiber-optic current sensors (FOCS).
ABB的供應(yīng)范圍包括五個(gè)由此以來(lái)最大功率的大型113 kA / 1650 VDC整流器變壓器,每個(gè)變壓器的重量均超過(guò)300噸,五個(gè)用于整流器的交流800PEC高速控制保護(hù)裝置,一個(gè)用于整流器站和氣體絕緣變電站的級(jí)別2的監(jiān)測(cè)和數(shù)據(jù)采集(SCADA)系統(tǒng),以及ABB最近發(fā)布的、獲獎(jiǎng)的光纖電流傳感器(FOCS)。
Rectifiers – key to the process
整流器——過(guò)程的關(guān)鍵
Rectifiers are the critical components in a smelter potline. They convert AC to DC power which is then passed through the molten electrolyte in the pots to form aluminum.
If the rectifiers fail and the line shuts down, the molten aluminum will “freeze” within hours, at a cost of $100 million or more.
整流器是熔爐電解槽中的關(guān)鍵組成部分。它們把交流電轉(zhuǎn)化成直流電,然后在槽里熔化的電解液中傳遞,從而使電解液形成鋁。倘若整流器出了故障導(dǎo)致整個(gè)生產(chǎn)線(xiàn)停工,那些熔化的鋁將在幾個(gè)小時(shí)之內(nèi)冷卻下來(lái),代價(jià)將是1億美元甚至更多。
Another key contributor to process reliability is ABB’s FOCS technology, which has revolutionized current measurement in large power-consuming applications like aluminum smelters.
另一個(gè)過(guò)程可靠性的關(guān)鍵因素是ABB的FOCS技術(shù),是一項(xiàng)在例如鋁熔爐等大型能耗應(yīng)用中具有革命性的電流測(cè)量技術(shù)。
Alcan had previously tested FOCS at a smelter in
Alcan已經(jīng)在法國(guó)的一個(gè)熔爐里測(cè)試過(guò)FOCS技術(shù),并對(duì)結(jié)果印象深刻。與交流電測(cè)量技術(shù)相比,FOCS僅重
On the control side, the AC 800PEC uniquely combines in a single modular system the high-speed control requirements of large rectifiers with low-speed control tasks usually carried out by separate PLC units.
在控制端,交流式800PEC獨(dú)特地結(jié)合了在一個(gè)單一模系統(tǒng)里大型整流器所需要的高速控制要求和通常由獨(dú)立PLC裝置執(zhí)行的低速控制任務(wù)。
Industrial complex
工業(yè)聯(lián)合體
The Sohar aluminum plant is part of a massive greenfield industrialization project in Oman to establish alternative sources of revenue to oil and gas. In addition to the smelter, the project includes two steel plants and a chemicals plant, all of which will be located 12 kilometers inland from the
蘇哈爾鋁廠(chǎng)是阿曼用于建立油氣可選擇資源收入而大力發(fā)展的工業(yè)化項(xiàng)目之一。除了鋁廠(chǎng),該項(xiàng)目還包括兩座鋼鐵廠(chǎng)和一座化學(xué)廠(chǎng),這些廠(chǎng)都是位于距離蘇哈爾港12公里的內(nèi)陸地方。
Already a second potline of the same size and capacity is planned for construction later this decade.
與現(xiàn)在同樣大小和容量的第二個(gè)鋁電解槽已經(jīng)在籌建計(jì)劃中,將在未來(lái)的十年里動(dòng)工。
ABB is the market and technology leader in power conversion for smelter applications, with more than 80 years’ experience, a global market share of 50 percent, and a full scope of supply capability.
ABB是熔爐電流轉(zhuǎn)換應(yīng)用中的市場(chǎng)和技術(shù)領(lǐng)先者,具有80余年的歷史,全球市場(chǎng)占有率達(dá)50%,以及全范圍的供應(yīng)能力。
