Solar thermal in the Bayer alumina process

Information

Concentrating solar thermal (CST) in the Bayer Alumina Process is an Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funded project . Our researchers have found that introducing concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies to the Bayer alumina process could enable a 29-45% solar share. This would displace the need for natural gas and decrease operating fuel costs. The best part is that: - CST can be integrated within the existing refineries and existing fuel supply systems to achieve continuous operation continuously– vital for 24/7 industries. - plant equipment does not need to be altered extensively.
