•    Description:  Aluminum smelting requires a large consumption of electricity in the primary electrolytic reduction process. The EnPot technology, developed by Energia Potior Ltd., gives smelters the ability to vary electrical energy consumption up or down by as much as 30% to take advantage of off-peak power prices, accommodating the intermittent supply of renewable energy within the grid, and allowing production to be better matched to primary aluminum supply and demand. To find out more about what

the new EnPot technology can bring to the global aluminum smelting industry, Dr. Linda Wright interviewed Energia Potior’s vice presidents, Geoff Matthews (commercial) and Dr. Mark Dorreen (technical).
