Business Wire
Alcoa Corporation announced today that it will begin the process
to immediately curtail one of three operating smelting lines at its
Warrick Operations facility in Indiana due to operational
challenges.
Each of the three smelting lines at Warrick have approximately
54,000 metric tons per year (mtpy) of annual capacity. The one
potline is expected to be fully curtailed by the end of the day on
Friday, July 1, 2022.
Alcoa Warrick Operations has a total nameplate capacity of
269,000 mtpy across five potlines, including the three operating
potlines with 161,000 mtpy of capacity.
“Our teams will be focused on ensuring that we bring down this
capacity safely while protecting production at the two other
operating lines,” said John Slaven, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operations Officer.
