Yesterday, Aurubis successfully wrapped up the largest maintenance shutdown in company history at its Hamburg site. 🏗️ With roughly 500 individual tasks and an around € 95 million budget for plant maintenance and technical upgrades, we made important investments in the Hamburg plant’s efficiency and environmental protection. 💬 “We executed all the shutdown tasks with the highest quality – a technical and logistical tour de force, given the extreme complexity of the shutdown,” Aurubis Chief Transformation Officer Prof. Dr. Markus Kramer said. 👷 Around 2,000 people were involved in the large-scale project including 1,500 workers from partner companies, suppliers and service providers. ♨️ Along with the comprehensive maintenance and renewal work, we also executed two strategic projects during the shutdown that further expand Aurubis’ pioneering role in sustainability: The installation of hydrogen-ready anode furnaces and the expansion of our carbon-free industrial heat project. 💬 “This strategic investment represents another milestone along our path towards carbon neutrality, and demonstrates at the Hamburg site that as an industry, we are an important part of the solution for accelerating decarbonization,” Aurubis CEO Roland Harings emphasized. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this shutdown! 🙏 #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorrowMetals #Hamburg #Decarbonization
Curious what they got for their 95M Euros. Anyone know the scope of work? I see a furnace rebuild and a new converter on the video. Anything else major, or the usual cats and dogs (catalyst, offgas repairs, AF brick, etc)?
Es hat mal wieder Spaß gemacht mit Euch. Danke an das komplette Team der KAWO und der Planungsabteilung. Weiterhin viel Erfolg!
amazing work!
