Upgrades to expand capacity of largest aluminum smelter in Western world

为西方世界最大的铝冶炼厂升级扩容

Zurich, Switzerland, November 13, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has been awarded a $39 million contract by Dubai Aluminium Company (Dubal) to upgrade rectifier, transformer and automation systems at its 480-hectare smelter complex in Dubai.

瑞士苏黎世11月13日消息——全球领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB今天宣布其获得了迪拜铝业公司(Dubal)一份价值3900万美元合同，升级Dubal占地480公顷、位于Dubai的混合冶炼厂的整流器、变压器以及自动化系统。

The project includes replacing five high-voltage regulating rectifier transformers (rectiformers) with larger units rated at 86 megavolt amperes (MVA), to increase capacity and allow Dubal to combine two smelting potlines. Rectifiers are devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

该工程包括将五个高压整流变压器替换为额定功率86兆伏安（MVA）的整流器，以提高容量以及使Dubal合并现有的两个冶炼电解池。整流器是一种将交流电转换为直流电的仪器。

ABB is also supplying control and protection systems as well as 250 kiloampere (kA) field-oriented measuring equipment. ABB will upgrade existing systems including high-voltage cables, low-voltage and control cables, fire-detection and fire-fighting equipment.

ABB还将提供控制和保护系统，以及250千安培现场导向的测量设备。ABB将升级现有系统，包括高压电缆、低压和控制电缆、火灾探测和消防设备。

“Our decades of metals-industry expertise are helping customers like Dubai Aluminium achieve more efficient production systems,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “The combination of standard ABB products and application-specific knowledge means we can install advanced solutions quickly.”

ABB过程自动化部主管Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“我们在金属行业数十年的专业技术帮助例如迪拜铝业公司这样的客户实现了更有效率的生产系统。ABB的标准产品和特殊应用知识的结合，使我们可以快速地安装高端解决方案。”

Dubai Aluminium operates the largest single-site aluminum smelter in the Western world, with an annual output exceeding 850,000 metric tons. Commissioning of the new ABB systems will begin during July 2007 and is set for completion in March 2008.

迪拜铝业公司是西方世界最大的单点冶炼厂，年产量超过850000吨。ABB新系统的调试将在2007年7月开始，预计将在2008年3月完工。
