Abstract
In 1998, a new Gas Treatment Center (GTC) was taken into operation at the ALDEL Aluminum Smelter located in Delfzijl, the Netherlands. This GTC was designed and built by Danieli Corus (former Hoogovens Technical Services) according to the Pleno IV design. This year, the GTC at ALDEL is operating successfully and reliably for 15 years, which is the reason for looking back at the past performance. In this article, the design and operation as well as the performance and availability of this GTC over the past 15 years will be discussed.
