ALUMINA HANDLING SYSTEMSHigh Performance 5 High Efficiency

FLSmidth® is a market-leading sup-plier of equipment and services to the global minerals and cement industries. FLSmidth supplies ev-erything from single machine units to complete minerals and cement flow sheets including associated services.

With almost 13,000 employees, FLSmidth is a global company with headquarters in Denmark and local presence in more than 50 coun-tries including project and tech-nology centres in Denmark, India, USA and Germany. Over the past 134 years FLSmidth has developed a business culture based on three fundamental values: competence, responsibility and cooperation.

It is FLSmidth’s vision to be the customers’ preferred full-service-provider of sustainable minerals and cement technologies. This is reflected in focused research and development efforts aimed at ful-filling customers’ future needs in terms of innovative technical solu-tions, high reliability and availabili-ty, minimum environmental impact and the lowest possible product lifecycle costs.

FLSmidth’s in-house resources are

primarily engineers who develop, plan, design, install and service equipment, with most manufac-turing being outsourced to a glob-al network of subcontractors. This has proven to be both a robust and sustainable business model. FLS-midth therefore has a flexible cost structure, which makes it possible to plan and adjust resources to prevailing market conditions.

FLSmidth is a learning organization, and our people are our most valu-able resource. FLSmidth’s strategy entails strong emphasis on select-ing, attracting and retaining the right people who can support val-ue creation in FLSmidth.

FLSmidth in the alumina business

FLSmidth first entered the alumi-na industry more than 100 years ago. Today FLSmidth has an ex-perienced team of engineers and support staff with extensive alu-mina experience located in offices around the world – and offers the latest equipment for most areas of an alumina plant.

Red side, white side and alumina handling

Based on the Bayer process, invented

by the Austrian chemist Josef Bay-er, the alumina production process can be split into a ‘red side’ and a ‘white side’.

Red side solutions

FLSmidth offers equipment for the complete bauxite handling, stor-age, crushing and grinding flow-sheet, complementing the diges-tion or dissolution of bauxite in hot caustic liquor. This is followed by the complete Settler-Washer train flowsheet for Red Mud using the leading technology acquired from Dorr-Oliver and Eimco.

White side solutions

FLSmidth offers white side equip-ment, covering the complete flow-sheet after the hydrate precipita-tion process, including MÖLLER® equipment technology for alumina handling and load-out.

Overall, FLSmidth equipment cov-ers more than 50 percent of the equipment needs of a complete alumina plant, from the bauxite mine to the above refinery equip-ment. In addition, FLSmidth also offers all equipment for alumina handling in the smelters.
