Abstract
In 2005, Rio Tinto Aluminium started an ambitious program to reduce casting furnace energy consumption in its casthouses. A major reduction step was reached in 2008 by implementing this energy efficiency program in all casthouses, focusing more specifically on the reduction of natural gas consumption (m3 of gas) and specific energy consumption (MJ/t of cast metal). In order to further reduce energy consumption, a new strategy was recently developed and is described in this paper.
