Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) is to start construction of a sixth reduction line, which is expected to begin production in early 2019. The expansion will bring Alba's total production capacity to approximately 1,450,000 mtpa.
The company recently marked its 10th year of operations of its fifth reduction line, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness, Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa.
The line expanded Alba’s annual aluminium production by adding 307,000 metric tonnes per annum (mtpa), making it the largest aluminium smelter in the world outside of Eastern Europe with a total output of 827,000 mtpa. To date, line five produces more than 345,000 mtpa of liquid metal as compared to its original capacity of 320,000 mtpa.
Alba’s chief operations officer, Isa al Ansari, said: "We are proud of what Alba has achieved since 1971 and for its contributions to the Kingdom of Bahrain. All our accomplishments are the results of our employees’ commitment, hard work and capabilities, and I thank them for their dedication. We now look forward to attaining new heights with the Line 6 Expansion Project."
