System Update at ALBRAS - Alumínio Brasileiro (Brazilian Aluminum)

ALBRAS - Alumínio Brasileiro SA, located in the municipality of Barcarena, Pará State, is a privately held company. Since 1985 it has been supplying the domestic and foreign markets and it is the largest producer of primary aluminum in Brazil.

With a partnership of more than 25 years, Nova Smar carried out the updating of the Gas Treatment Plants (Reduction IV) - GTC, which was already automated by Nova Smar. The Process Control System used is SYSTEM302, which is based on an open architecture and allows greater scalability and reliability of the plant. In this plant upgrade, a new electrical infrastructure and transmitter upgrade was installed using Fieldbus Foundation Technology. The work lasted four months, starting in May and ending in September 2021.

The Commissioning & Startup of the Nova Smar Control System was successfully performed with the ALBRAS operators. After the Startup, Nova Smar trained the ALBRAS employees to operate the new installed system.
