EGA to test spent pot lining in cement industries

AL Circle

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), one of the world’s five largest primary aluminium producers, have decided to test the use of a by-product of aluminium smelting in Arkan’s cement plant in Al Ain. The company intends to re-use all its spent pot lining in the UAE.

Abdulla Kalban, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of EGA, said: “Many in the aluminium industry see spent pot lining as a problem, but we see it as an economic and environmental opportunity. Using spent pot lining in cement manufacturing is a win-win for both industries and for the country, and contributes to achievement of the economic diversification vision of the UAE.”

EGA has utilised more than 37,000 tonnes of pot lining in the UAE cement industry in 2016, more than company’s average annual production. The company has been supplying spent pot lining to other UAE cement plants since 2010 for use as a feedstock.

Abdulaziz Asad, Chief Operating Officer of Arkan, said: “EGA’s spent pot lining should reduce both our costs and energy needs, delivering business value and improving our environmental performance. This project is in line with our strategy of exploring alternative fuels and feedstocks and we look forward to success in the tests.”

Arkan is a leading construction and building materials company. Arkan has operated a new cement plant in Al Ain since 2014 and is 51 per cent owned by SENAAT, a company of the Government of Abu Dhabi.
