KEY components of a complex multi-million dollar engineering project for one of the world’s largest aluminum smelters have been built on Mount Gambier’s outskirts.
Several vital parts of a 16-metre high dust collector have been designed and manufactured at Nederman MikroPul’s Worrolong production facility, ready for shipping to Aluminum Bahrain – the world’s largest aluminum smelter outside of China.
It is among the company’s largest and most complex projects completed in Australia, with Nederman MikroPul operating from the former McKee Engineering premises for the last 12 months.
The collector features over 800 self-filtering bags and will be used to purify Spent Pot Lining (SPL), an unavoidable waste product of the electrolytic process in the smelting of aluminum.
