MUMBAI: Power and automation technology group ABB on Tuesday said that it has bagged orders worth Rs 455 crore from Vedanta Aluminium Ltd to provide products, systems and solutions for expansion of their aluminium smelter plant at Jharsuguda in Orissa.
As per the order ABB would design, supply, build and commission 24 sets of high power diode rectifier systems for four aluminium potlines, the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
"ABB automation and electrical systems will become the manufacturing backbone of this smelter plant," ABB India Managing Director Biplab Majumder said.
The automation technology company's scope of supply also includes a new switchyard to supply the new smelter plant with power, a process control system and a control system for power distribution, substation switching bays, power and station transformers.
The expansion at Vedanta Aluminium's Jharsuguda plant would double the smelters' production capacity of aluminium ingots, rods and rolled products.
ABB has already supplied rectifier systems for phase one of the Jharsuguda plant expansion in 2007-08.
Vedantas total aluminium smelting capacity at Jharsuguda will be approximately 1,700,000 tons per annum (tpa) when phase two is complete in 2010, thus making it one of the largest aluminium plants in the world.
