Our industry leading AP Technology™ package is constantly evolving. Through continuous improvement and innovation, our objective is always to enhance performance – yours and ours.
Sharing technical knowledge
AP Technology™ User Events – AP2X, AP3X, ALPSYS and Anode – are organised to provide a global forum for sharing technical knowledge and the latest developments with licensees around the world. These events are part of our ongoing commitment to help users achieve world class performance.
Coordinated by our AP Technology™ licensing department, the meetings occur on average every two to three years. They are attended by experts two participants from each AP Technology™ smelter as well as by our own technical and operational experts.
Top level technical forum
AP Technology™ User Events facilitate exchanges on the latest developments and upgrades in smelter technology. They also provide an excellent opportunity for networking and sharing technical and HSE (health, safety and environment) experiences.
Examples of technical topics covered during User Club meetings include:
- Amperage increase (AP2X, AP3X, graphite cathodes, slotted anodes)
- Power consumption optimisation (lining design, operating set points)
- Anode effect decrease (ALPSYS performances)
- Anode quality improvement (G/S ratio, SCAP-Rhodax®)
