The scientific divisions which include the SibVAMI (Irkutsk), RUSAL ITC (Krasnoyarsk), Bratsk (BrAZ), Novokuznetsk (NkAZ) and Irkutsk (IrkAZ) aluminium smelters presented the DGCS.

"The overwhelming evidence of both DGCS’ energy efficiency and environmental friendliness along with its positive effect on CAPEX allowed RUSAL to switch swiftly to the use of its own technology and equipment, replacing foreign analogues. Support for and recognition from the expert community of corporate efforts to introduce new technological innovations is always important. It provides an additional incentive to continue long-term research aimed at improving environmental performance and encouraging the competitiveness of the Russian aluminum industry, and consequently, the entire national industry as a whole," said Viktor Mann, RUSAL’s Technical director.
