This website is dedicated to software for aluminum smelting. It helps you to answer questions or to solve problems of every day aluminum production and of research and development. For this purpose you use interactive web pages or PC-programs that you may download and install on your computer.
Using interactive web pages you can immediately commence to study the solution of your task or problem. There is no need to download and install program files and you don't have to worry about keeping the software up to date. As a new feature you may save the values and data of your investigation on the AlWeb database. The next time you visit an AlWeb page you may recall these saved data. For more details please see: AlWeb Introduction.

AlWeb (Interactive Web Pages) On an interactive web page you carry out online i.e. immediately calculation and investigations to solve your special or every day tasks concerning aluminum smelting. You may save the input data and calculation results on the AlWeb database to recall them later during your next visit of the web page. Please see also: AlWeb Introduction. |
AlPrg is a collection of several PC program modules to determine production values or optimal parameters for aluminum smelting. You can do this for conventional Hall-Héroult cells using carbon anodes or for an electrolytic process using stable, non consumable (inert) anodes. Please see the for the AlPrg users' guide the AlPrg Contents.
The carbon anodes of the conventional conventional Hall-Héroult process are consumed during electrolysis and have to be replaced by new anodes. ATab investigates the behavior of the anode table during an anode change cycle period. With ATab you can optimize the anode change schedule according to predefined criteria. You may download version 2.0 of the ATab PC-program from here.
This website contains the basic equations and all the other relations that AlWeb, AlPrg and ATab are using to solve their task and problems (see Theory Contents).On this website you find also the content of the aluminum smelting seminar and workshop (AlSem). You must however be logged in with your personal username and password to see the conent of these pages.
AlSem is a seminar with workshop for aluminum smelting. AlSem teaches the theoretical and practical aspects of the Hall-Héroult electrolysis process. It is a special asset of AlSem compared to other seminars or courses that the participants receive the seminar content not only in a conventional printed textbook but also on a CD in the acrobat file version. In addition the workshop provides a better and deeper understanding of primary aluminum production because the participants study the examples discussed during the seminar and solve exercises with the help of AlPrg a collection of several PC program modules for aluminum smelting.
