During the past 10 years DUBAL successfully developed its proprietary high amperage DX and DX+ cell technologies that have shown excellent performance. The 40 DX demonstration cells at DUBAL currently operate at 385 kA and the five DUBAL DX+ demonstration cells have been operating at 440 kA since March 2012. Following the commissioning of a sixth rectiformer, EMAL potlines 1 and 2 have increased the amperage of the DX cells to 380 kA. This paper summarizes the performance of both DX and DX+ cells at DUBAL and EMAL. EMAL Potline 3, currently under construction will total 444 DX+ cells with a potline voltage of 2000 V. DUBAL has recently developed a new pot control system (PCS) based on standard PLC hardware architecture which has been selected for EMAL Potline 3. As part of DUBAL’s culture of continuous improvement, further development is in progress towards lower energy consumption, lower PFC emissions and lower capital expenditure.
