ABB Group was awarded with a $140 million contract by Qatalum in 2007 to construct the electrical parts of the plant. [1] Inaugurated in April 2010, it was the largest aluminium plant ever launched in one step, costing about $5.7 billion to build. [2] In 2012, ABB was contracted to upgrade the plants power network for $16 million.
Qatalum, an aluminium smelter plant, was launched in April 2010 in Mesaieed. It is a joint venture between QatarEnergy and Norsk Hydro. [13] Its annual capacity in September 2011 was 585,000 metric tons of primary aluminium. [14] A 1350 MW natural gas power plant has also been built to ensure a stable supply of electricity. [15]
This is a list of primary aluminium smelters in the world. Primary production is the process by which alumina is smelted to pure aluminum. [1] Secondary production is the process of recycling aluminum scrap into aluminum that can be used again. [2] Capacity here refers to metric tonnes of output aluminum. The list is incomplete and missing some ...
Mesaieed was established in 1949 as a tanker terminal by QatarEnergy on a previously uninhabited site along the coast. It was chosen by the company because of its proximity to the working population in Doha and Al Wakrah and because of the depth of its waters. [5]

Aluminium smelting is the process of extracting aluminium from its oxide, alumina, generally by the Hall-Héroult process. Alumina is extracted from the ore bauxite by means of the Bayer process at an alumina refinery .
This is a list of countries by primary aluminium production in 2023. [1] Primary aluminium is produced from aluminium oxide which is obtained from bauxite and excludes recycled aluminium. Only countries with a minimum production of 100,000 tonnes are listed.
As of late 2019, the system of LME Aluminium contracts is associated with 1.27 to 1.49 million tonnes of physical primary Aluminium stored in 500 to 700 warehouses around the world, out of 2.78 million tonnes of global reported warehoused Aluminium, and 11.78 million tonnes of global reported and unreported warehoused Aluminium.
