Alba picks EtaPRO for its digital transformation drive to enhance power stations performance

The first aluminium smelter in the Middle East region, Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba), recorded 1.561 million tonnes of aluminium production in 2021 has selected EtaPRO LLC to enhance the thermal performance of its power stations.

EtaPRO LLC is a company with 3 decades of experience in developing technologies and deploying solutions to deliver customized asset optimization strategies.

Alba’s Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali commented while speaking on the occasion, “We believe that Digital Transformation is a discipline rather than a project. As part of our Industry 4.0 revolution, we identified the need to have an online Performance Management System (PMS), based on an industry-leading digital solution utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), which would provide us with the flexibility to host the PMS in the cloud.” 

“We are excited to partner with EtaPRO LLC as we carve our way to meet our Company’s objectives in terms of efficiency and optimisation.”
