NALCO Alumina Refinery

Project Overview

National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), a Government of India enterprise, is one of the largest integrated bauxite–alumina–aluminium–power complexes in the country. With operations spanning mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting and casting, power generation, rail, and port logistics, NALCO plays a pivotal role in India’s industrial growth.

For their critical Instrumentation works at the Alumina Refinery and Port Facilities, NALCO engaged thyssenkrupp as the project consultant. Ensuring accurate and reliable flow measurement was a key requirement across these facilities to maintain operational safety, efficiency, and process optimization.

Flowtech’s Contribution:

Flowtech Measuring Instruments, Vadodara, was selected to supply Metal Tube Rotameters, recognized for their reliability, precision, and robust design suitable for industrial-grade applications.
