Novelis Inc., a global supplier of sustainable aluminium solutions and the world's top firm in the aluminium rolling and recycling business, has collaborated with ABB to reinitialise its third-party drives and control systems as part of a Brownfield modernization project at its hot rolling mill in Oswego, New York, USA. ABB is replacing obsolete equipment with new switch gears, transformers, medium voltage drives, medium voltage synchronous motors, motor control centres, and auxiliary controls to future-proof the mill. ABB will integrate these with the facility's existing non-ABB control system to support Novelis' ambitions for increased power capacity and reliability. The upgrade is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2023.
The Oswego mill was Novelis' first US operation and is now the company's largest wholly-owned fabrication facility in North America. It produces high-quality aluminium sheets for the automotive, beverage can, and building and construction markets. Novelis is the world's largest recycler of aluminium and seeks sustainability commitments from its supply chain as its customers look for environmentally friendly and circular aluminium products.
ABB Process Automation business will handle the automation, electrification, and digitalization of industrial operations that address a wide range of essential needs - from supplying energy, water, and materials to producing goods and transporting them to market. ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
After acquiring almost 130 years of experience, ABB's 105,000 plus employees are committed to driving innovations that pave a smooth way for industrial upgradation. ABB will replace the outdated third-party installed base, including obsolete motor and generator sets, at Novelis' Oswego, New York, facility. The retrofit will improve availability, reliability, energy efficiency, and productivity while cutting downtime and maintenance. ABB medium voltage synchronous motors will help ensure the highest levels of availability for Novelis.
