A new generation of learning control systems and optimized smelter components replacing legacy pot control systems, with AI-enabled capabilities layered on top to deliver sustained Scope 1 CO₂ reductions.
Metsol AG has solidified its roots in the aluminium industry. Initially founded to develop advanced process‑control solutions for aluminium smelting, we have undergone a significant evolution since our inception.
Today, Metsol AG stands as a multifaceted player in the primary aluminium industry, specialising in sustainable technology solutions for, what we term, “Green Smelting” – process-optimisation systems that reduce energy consumption, anode‑effect‑related emissions, and overall carbon intensity, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship and industrial efficiency.
Every component improves performance.
An integrated suite of technologies delivering measurable gains in efficiency, stability, and environmental performance.
APC+ integrates high-resolution voltage monitoring directly at the control layer. It dynamically adjusts smelter parameters – feeding strategy, alumina dissolution, and bath chemistry – based on real-time cell behaviour. Decisions happen in milliseconds and are executed continuously, ensuring stable cell operation under changing process conditions.
An electrically compensated cathode system that reduces cathode voltage drop and improves vertical current distribution. Delivered preassembled and ready to install — simplifying relining while improving long-term performance. Includes carbon cathode block, collector bar system, Electrically Compensating Plates (ECPs), contact plugs and PAH-free ramming glue.
MPF™ improves alumina dissolution and bath balance by distributing feed at multiple controlled points along the pot. Better distribution reduces local depletion, improves heat balance and lowers anode effect risk. When integrated with APC+™, smart feed timing and real-time response to pot conditions deliver enhanced stability and higher current efficiency.
Every cycle makes the smelter smarter.
Operational data feeds APC+™ models that drive continuous optimisation — reducing energy, emissions, and cost.
Our mission is to become the reliable producer and distributor of technologically advanced components to significantly improve the performance of our customers in the primary aluminum industry worldwide.
