Our STAREF operations in Qatar achieved another milestone, with the relining of all 352 pots in Pot-line 2. Another achievement of Low pot outage time (3.3 days benchmark) was also achieved by excellent team work between the Reduction departments and STAREF by systematic use of QPS Tools, which resulted in higher production which translates into monetary savings to Qatalum.
Qatalam Management appreciated the efforts and continuous support given to Start-up and Relining team from Pot-line Operation supervisors/teams, as complete pot replacement and start-up involved a huge logistic exercise within the Pot-line area and the high level HSE risk, which was managed well.
The key success behind this milestone achievement was the engagement of individuals in all dedicated teams in reduction which was well appreciated by the Qatalum Management.
