Anode & Carbon Plant

Every tonne of primary aluminium produced requires approximately 0.4–0.5 tonnes of prebaked carbon anodes. The anode plant is a critical support facility for any prebake smelter — and a capital-intensive one. EGA's Al Taweelah smelter operates its own anode plant, and any smelter expansion or new smelter project requires anode plant capacity to match. We supply anode plant and carbon plant equipment.

What we supply

• Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) storage and handling systems
• Coal tar pitch storage, heating, and dosing systems
• Green anode mixers — batch and continuous kneader-mixers
• Vibro-compaction and anode press machines for green anode forming
• Baking furnaces — open top ring furnaces for anode baking
• Rodding equipment — anode rod straightening, anode setting, bath cleaning
• Butt crushing and processing systems for anode butt recycling

How the project proceeds

1. Define the anode plant capacity requirement matched to smelter production
2. Select equipment configuration for each process stage; engage specialist suppliers
3. Manage procurement, factory inspection, and delivery
4. Support installation and commissioning with process engineers

Why Infinity

Anode plant equipment is specialised — the number of suppliers is limited, and the process parameters are tightly linked to the anode quality requirements of the specific cell technology used. We source from manufacturers with established anode plant references and respect the technology licensor's input on key equipment specifications.
