More on the Technology
AP60 technology was first developed at Rio Tinto Alcan’s research and development facilities in the Rhone Alpes region of France. When Phase 1 of the plant becomes operational, the Arvida Research and Development Centre in Jonquire, Quebec will lead ongoing activities towards commercialising AP60 technology. It will also be supported by research and development teams in Voreppe and Saint Jean de Maurienne, France. AP60 is the next step in Rio Tinto Alcan’s suite of industry benchmark smelting technologies. AP60 will operate at an exceptional 600 kilo amperes which represents a 100 kilo ampere step change from AP50 technology. Like all AP series technologies, AP60 is focussed on productivity and reduction of full economic cost of production.
