MANAMA: Bahrain-based Alba, along with Bechtel, the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contractor, has achieved a major construction milestone by successfully producing the first hot metal at its Potline 6 Expansion Project two weeks ahead of schedule.
Alba officially announced the commissioning of its Potline 6 with the first pot energisation last Thursday, thus taking its final steps towards becoming the world’s largest aluminium smelter .
