Overview

 

This project conducted a techno-economic assessment of a range of thermal and alternative storage options for supplying steam to the low temperature stage of refining bauxite to alumina. Thermal storage was considered to directly generate steam while electrical storage was coupled to mechanical vapour compression for upgrading captured water vapour into useful process steam. Both options are intended to convert variable renewable energy input into the consistent steam supply required by the process.
