The Achinsk Alumina Refinery was established in 1970 to process the yield of the Kiya-Shaltyr nepheline deposit and the Mazulsky limestone mine.
The refinery uses a unique method for producing alumina developed by experts at the Russian Aluminium and Magnesium Institute (part of the Group). The method involves the complex processing of nepheline ore, soda ash and potassium sulphate. The alumina produced at AGK is mainly used by the Group's aluminium smelters in Siberia.
The Company has developed a method for producing highly dispersed precipitated aluminium hydroxide (HDPAH), which is used as a fire retardant. AGK has launched a production line for it with a capacity of 5 kt.
AGK is constantly updating its equipment to make production more efficient and reduce its impact on the environment.
