Trip to Alcoa Mosjøen
As a part of the transition between our first and second generation of alumina students, a field trip to Alcoa Mosjøen was arranged.
Guided by Ellen Myrvold in the anode baking plant, Nina Helene Omdahl in the potrooms and Egil Solberg in the cast house we were given the possibility to follow the process streams from raw material to final product - from the docks and back again. Results from the last year were showcased by our BSc students Ingrid Hansen, Andrea Nautnes and Sofie Nilssen Neverdal and MSc student Sindre Engzelius Gylver, followed by good discussions with representatives from Alcoa.
Activities will be followed up already next month with summer- and MSc students Martin Grimstad (FME HighEFF) and Åste Hegglid Follo (SFI Metal Production), further probing the behaviour of critical raw materials in primary aluminium production.
