AREVA has won a EUR 33 million turnkey contract with Aluar Aluminio Argentino, an Argentine aluminium manufacturer and producer, for the design and installation of a new power supply system in its smelter, situated in Puerto Madryn, Patagonia. AREVA will upgrade two of the smelter’s three potlines. AREVA will replace the eight existing 50 kA, 900 V conversion groups with eight new 74 kA, 1000 V groups and will install a new electrical supply system with all the necessary equipment including power transformers and rectifiers. AREVA will carry out the project without any production interruption. The first set of conversion groups will be delivered in January 2005 and the remaining will be progressively installed over the following two years.
