This upgrade will bring numerous benefits, including a daily reduction of 8,360 kWh in electricity consumption. It will also improve air quality by reducing humidity, extending equipment lifespan, and decreasing noise levels through cabin-mounted devices. Additionally, the project is expected to save approximately 240 m³ of water per day, cut R$25,000 annually in chemical product consumption, and lower health risks.
“The implementation of this project is an important milestone for Alcoa. The investment reinforces our commitment to responsible operations, as well as providing tangible benefits in efficiency, safety and cost reduction for our operations,” said Rodrigo Giannotti, Refinery and Bauxite Residue Area Manager at Alcoa Poços de Caldas.
