Alpha HPA officially commences construction of the world’s largest single-site alumina refinery in Gladstone

Alpha HPA is officially set to establish the world's largest single-site high-purity alumina products refinery in Gladstone, Queensland. The company has made a final investment decision (FID) on Stage Two of its 'HPA First' project, following the successful construction, commissioning, and 16-month operation of the Stage One precursor facility.

"Construction of the 10-hectare, state-of-the-art, full-scale facility will commence mid-2024 on the existing HPA First project site at Yarwun, near Gladstone, where the company's Stage One facility is already in small-scale production of its high purity aluminas and aluminium materials product range. Stage Two will encompass full-scale production of up to 10,000 tonnes of high-purity aluminium materials per year creating 120 ongoing local jobs on top of 300 jobs during construction," said Alpha HPA's managing director, Rimas Kairaitis.
