About NALCO
Incorporated in 1981, as a PSU, National Aluminium Company Limited (Nalco) is Asia's largest integrated aluminium complex encompassing bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting and casting, power generation, rail and port operations. Based on energy efficient state-of-the-art technology of smelting and pollution control, the Smelter Plant is in operation since early 1987. Initially 3,45,000 tpa capacity Aluminium Smelter, located at Angul in Orissa, is expanded to 4,60,000 tpa.

Inlet concentration
As the mixture of gas & alumina passes through the fabric, the dust accumulates on the outside of the bags. Each bag is supported on the inside by a metal cage to prevent the bag from collapsing. The clean gas flows up & out of the top of the compartment.

Recent Up gradation
Particulate aluminium oxide is mixed with the gases
contact reactor
sulphur dioxide thus accompanies the aluminium oxide back to the aluminium-production process
In the adsorption process the gas is treated in a first dry adsorption stage with at least partly spent particulate aluminium oxide,
The aluminium oxide with adsorbed fluorine-containing substances is separated from the gas downstream from the first adsorption stage
A part of the separated aluminium oxide with adsorbed fluorine-containing compounds is removed from the adsorption process, and the remainder of the aluminium oxide is recirculated in the first adsorption stage At the same time the gas is transferred to a second dry adsorption stage arranged downstream from the first adsorption stage
