Guided by Nina Helene Omdahl and Martin Grimstad, we were given a detailed tour in potrooms, where all of the operations on a pot – including startup of a new pot were seen. Following the potroom, we were given a guided tour of the casthouse, allowing us to see the full production from alumina to metal slab. Results from the last year and plans ahead were presented, followed by good discussions with representatives from Alcoa Mosjøen.

Current activities and new suggestions from industry will be followed up during the coming months by our students, aiming to gain further knowledge of the aluminum smelting process.
