ALBA goes greener with $66m

Manama: According to GDN (Gulf Daily News, 8th Jan 2009), ALBA, the largest modern aluminium smelter in the world has announced that it had completed a $66m (BD 24.9m/ Rs.3213m) project to make its power stations more environmentally friendly. Power general manager Mahmood Asghar said gas turbines had been retrofitted with new low nitrogen oxide (NOx) burners to reduce emissions, which were now better than those required by international standards.
