SIMO Ships 15 Industrial Fans for a 450,000 TPA Aluminum Smelting Project in Vietnam

Project: 450,000 TPA Aluminum Smelting Plant in Dak Nong, Vietnam – Phase III

SIMO Blower is supplying a variety of industrial fan equipment for the Phase III expansion of a 450,000-ton-per-annum (TPA) aluminum smelting plant in Dak Nong, Vietnam.

The order comprises 15 units across 6 different configurations, including high-pressure centrifugal fans, Roots blowers, and high-capacity induced-draft (ID) fans. Each unit has been custom-configured to meet specific requirements regarding airflow, pressure, temperature, and on-site installation constraints.

This project highlights SIMO’s expertise in manufacturing and supplying diverse industrial fan solutions for large-scale non-ferrous metal production facilities.

Diverse Fan Requirements in Aluminum Smelting

Aluminum smelting is a continuous industrial process that entails various air and gas handling requirements. Different process systems impose distinct performance demands on fans—ranging from high-pressure air supply to the extraction of large volumes of flue gas.

The equipment provided for this project falls primarily into the following three categories:

1. High-Pressure Centrifugal Fans

The order includes four configurations of high-pressure centrifugal fans, designed for airflow capacities ranging from 5,153 to 19,360 m³/h and pressure requirements between 9,065 and 17,938 Pa.

These fans are engineered for operational conditions that necessitate high pressure and precise airflow delivery. They are configured with various rotational directions to accommodate the specific on-site installation requirements of the project.

2. Roots Blowers

This project is equipped with two SR225B-model Roots blowers, each with a rated air volume of 72.2 m³/min and a rated pressure of 39.2 kPa.

The units utilize a belt-drive mechanism and are supplied with the necessary auxiliary equipment and motor systems.

Roots blowers and centrifugal fans differ in their operating principles and applicable pressure ranges; the appropriate equipment should be selected based on specific process conditions and system design requirements.

3. High-Capacity Induced-Draft Fans

The exhaust system for this project is equipped with four large-scale induced-draft fans.

Each fan is designed for an air volume range of 445,000–533,000 m³/h, a pressure range of 4,000–4,500 Pa, and an operating temperature range of 100–130°C.

With their high-volume handling capacity, these fans are designed to meet the project's requirements for the extraction of high-flow gas streams.

Project Equipment Configuration

The complete order includes 15 units across six configurations.

Note: Airflow, pressure and temperature values are specified separately for each equipment configuration. They are not combined operating parameters for a single fan.

Customized Manufacturing for Project-Specific Requirements

In industrial projects involving various types of fans, equipment compatibility and installation specifics are just as critical as aerodynamic performance.

Project technical specifications encompass a wide range of requirements, including fan rotation direction, the orientation of inlets and outlets, the placement of access ports, and provisions for drainage.

Large-scale induced-draft fans are engineered to handle high air volumes and high-temperature gases, with configurations that fully account for mounting support and connection requirements.

High-pressure centrifugal fans and Roots blowers are supplied in accordance with their respective operational parameters and the requirements of any auxiliary equipment.

By integrating technical specifications, manufacturing processes, and project documentation, SIMO ensures that every piece of equipment aligns precisely with its intended application and installation conditions.
