Gladstone aluminium refinery, Queensland, ca. 1967

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) is one of the largest alumina refineries by alumina production capacity in the world,[1][2] located in Parsons Point, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. The refinery was planned in 1964[3] and has been operating since 1967,[4] the refinery has the capacity to produce 3.95 million tonnes of alumina a year. In 1981 the output was at a quarterly basis over 600,000 tonnes per quarter.[5] At times of lower demand, operations have been altered.[6][7] Subsequent rises in demand have seen an expansion in output and employment.[8] QAL has been operated by a range of consortium partners of international aluminum producers over time. Comalco was brought into the consortium in 1969.[9] In 1982 it was owned by Comalco (30.3%), Kaiser Aluminum (28.3%), Alcan (21.4%), and Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann (20%).[10] Since April 2005, it has been owned by Rio Tinto Alcan (80%) and Rusal (20%).[11] In September 2017 the QAL celebrated 50 years of operation.
