Alba is currently focused on enhancing performance levels at the plant and remains on track in achieving these goals through the joint efforts of members from the Power, Carbon Operations & Maintenance, Process Control & Development, Reduction Operation & maintenance departments.
“Pot Line 5’s upgrade to AP37 is another milestone for the company. In early 2011 the team outlined a roadmap on how to achieve 370 kA which was done with Alba internal resources and without significant capital expenditure. I would like to congratulate the team responsible for this achievement and am confident that this level of success will be reflected in future upgrades and bring pride to everyone in Alba,” Alba’s Chief Operations Officer, Isa Al Ansari said.
For two consecutive years, Alba has achieved record output through deployment of lean management techniques and operational efficiency initiatives. In January, the company announced that the 2012 production was 890,217 metric tonnes registering an increase of 8,907 metric tonnes from the 881,310 metric tonnes produced in 2011.
