en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 14, the first batch of liquid primary aluminum was successfully produced in the first phase of the 450,000-ton electrolytic aluminum project in Dak Nong, Vietnam, which was contracted by China Nonferrous Metal Industry's Foreign Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd. (NFC), a subsidiary of China Nonferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. This marks the entry into the trial production stage of Vietnam's first large-scale modern electrolytic aluminum plant.

Located in Dak Nong Province (now Lam Dong Province), Vietnam, this project is the country's first electrolytic aluminum project, ending its history of lacking domestic primary aluminum production capacity. It also promotes the overseas application of Chinese standards and equipment, becoming another demonstration project for international production capacity cooperation between China and Vietnam. Overcoming challenges such as cross-border transportation and rainy season construction, NFC's project department coordinated all aspects including design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, implementing a two-shift closed-loop operation. On July 7, the first phase's 112 electrolytic cells were energized in a single operation, and 16 cells in workshops 1 and 2 entered a stable baking stage, achieving zero faults throughout the entire process from power-on to baking to aluminum tapping. The production of the first batch of primary aluminum was completed 50 days ahead of the contractual milestone, and the overall construction period of the project was shortened by 3 months compared to the plan, setting a new record for the performance of large-scale electrolytic aluminum EPC projects in Southeast Asia.

In the next step, NFC will steadily advance the subsequent phases of the project, orderly releasing the 150,000-ton capacity of the first phase, and creating an overseas benchmark project with first-class engineering technology and efficient performance capabilities.
