Increasingly higher amperage enables production levels higher than our design capacity.

Growth through technology

Each of DUBAL's successive expansion projects to date has featured enhanced in-house reduction cell technologies that are capable of operating at increasingly higher amperages with associated growth in production capacity. Without exception, the operating amperages of the D18, CD20, CD26 and D20, reduction cells within DUBAL's smelter at Jebel Ali exceed their respective design specifications; thereby enabling annual production levels that are consistently higher than official capacity.

Capacity growth through technology

DX Technology

Our Technology Development and Transfer Department's independent research and development activities are focused on developing reduction cell technologies that offer improved productivity, capacity and efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of environmental conservation. These efforts have produced, inter alia, proprietary DUBAL DX Technology, with the first generation DX Technology cells having been commissioned in 2005 as prototypes in a five-cell pilot operation.

Technology Transfer

DX Technology has been specified for the green-field smelter developments to which DUBAL is committed through its alliance with Mubadala Development Company. A holistic approach has been adopted for the technology transfer process: DUBAL's reduction cell technology license agreements provide a license to use the company's state-of-the-art technology, complemented by comprehensive engineering and operation documentation; full engineering services for commissioning, start-up and operations; extensive training and skills development; plus access to ongoing technical support from DUBAL.
