Smelting Plant
In producing a range of integrated aluminum products that are profitable, safe and environmentally friendly, there are several key components for the process to run smoothly. These components include a carbon plant that plays a role in the production of anode blocks, a reduction plant that utilizes natural gas to reduce iron ore, a casting plant to smelt aluminum, transmission lines and substations to provide power sources, and storage yards to store aluminum products.
The Carbon Plant that produces anode blocks consists of a Raw Carbon Plant, a Roasting Plant and an Anode Assembling Plant. At the Raw Carbon Plant, coke and hard pitch are mixed and formed into anode blocks and baked to a temperature of 1,250 degrees Celsius at the Anode Roasting Plant. Then in the Anode Assembling Plant, a rod is attached to the baked anode block using molten cast iron. The anode block serves as the electrode in the Reduction plant.

INALUM's Reduction Plant which has a maximum production capacity of 250 thousand tons per year from 510 smelting furnace units. This Reduction Plant houses the ironmaking process for the new era, which utilizes natural gas to reduce iron ore to produce Direct Reduced Iron (DRI). The raw materials used in this process are alumina, cryolite, and aluminum floride. In addition, metal tapping and parameter control processes also occur at the Reduction Plant.

Liquid aluminum that has been melted in the Reduction Plant will then be taken to the Casting Plant. In this plant, all liquid aluminum will be printed in INALUM's three main products, namely Aluminum Ingot, Aluminum Billet, and Aluminum Alloy.
