    Abstract:

    NEUI has successfully eliminated a great many technical bottlenecks hindering the development of high amperage aluminum reduction technologies, such as high amperage pot MHD stability technology, 3D thermal-electric field simulation technology, dynamics simulation technology of pot gas flow, etc., and has also developed the worldĄŻs first 400kA aluminum reduction potline technology package, which has already been put into extensive use. On that basis, with the same development method and technical standards, NEUI constantly takes advantage of the latest development breakthroughs and developed NEUI500, NEUI600 technologies. NEUI600kA reduction potline has been put into commercial operation in Dec. 2014 in China. At the present time, the operating amperage of the potline is 602kA, and more excellent techno-economic indices have achieved such as average pot working voltage less than 4.0V, DC energy consumption less than 12500kWh/t-Al, anode effect frequency less than 0.01effects/potĄ¤day
