SUPERGAS LPG – The Required Ingredient to Increase the Aluminium Industry Profits!

Aluminium is widely used as it is resistant to corrosion and is of light weight. Hence it is used in  manufacturing of very simple materials like a plate to sensitive materials like aerospace products.

Aluminium heating and melting are critical operations which require precise and controlled environment to operate. So which fuel would be the ideal one? Is it the liquid fuels like Furnace Oil (FO), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Light Diesel Oil (LDO) or LPG or electricity? Let’s have an in-depth look at the various fuel options and then conclude which one would be the most suitable.

HSD is used more often in aluminium melting operations. In this blog we will get to know why LPG for aluminium industry is the better option compared to HSD.

 Fuel cost is reduced by 17-20%: Since LPG has a better calorific value; the amount of LPG that is required to heat the same amount of aluminium is less. Considering the parameters of calorific value, heat transfer efficiency and unit cost, overall LPG works out to be   less costly as compared to HSD. Therefore it’s a profitable switch for  long-term if aluminium casting is switched to LPG.

 Productivity is increased by 33%: The number of billets that can be heated in one hour using LPG is substantially higher when compared to the same with HSD. Hence, productivity will increase.

 Process time is reduced by 25%: This is also the by-product benefits of higher calorific value. And heat transfer efficiency. The amount of time required to heat one billet is reduced therefore; more billets can be processed in less time.

 Longer crucible life due to even and uniform heating: LPG is a fuel which can be used for direct heating. With LPG, we can send the fuel directly to the burners and the heat produced can be used. This provides uniform heating to all the billets in the process line.
