Hydro reaches halfway milestone at the Husnes plant

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 1MINS READ

Hydro restarted 100 of the 200 cells at the Husnes B-line in Western Norway. Husnes currently produces about 95,000 tonnes of aluminium annually via the A-line. The company will expand the capacity to around 195,000 as the 200 electrolysis cells in the one-kilometer-long B-line are restarted.

“The journey back to full production at Hydro Husnes started on November 24, 2020 when the first of 200 electrolysis cells was restarted - after being idled for more than ten years as a result of the financial crisis,” Hydro said.

The restart of the B-line represents a NOK 1.5 billion investment in upgrades and the production line holds world-class standards in climate, environmental and operational performance.

 “I am happy that the first 100 cells have been successfully restarted and I am impressed by the whole organization that have managed this in a safe and controlled way. We are now focusing on the remaining 100 and we aim to be at full capacity by the end of June,” said Plant Manager at Hydro Husnes Johan Berg.
