EGA boosts Al Taweelah alumina output with debottlenecking expansion

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has completed a debottlenecking expansion at its Al Taweelah alumina refinery, adding a third ball mill to increase capacity by up to 50,000 t annually. The project, executed fully in-house, enhances operational resilience, reduces outage risks, and supports future production growth. Completed in just over two years with over 650,000 safe work hours, the expansion reinforces Al Taweelah’s track record of exceeding its 2 million tpa nameplate capacity since 2019, while meeting nearly half of EGA’s alumina needs last year.
