The designed capacity has been increased to 4,50,000 TPY through various strategic expansions. Plant is designed for TAA in Bauxite 46.5% and Silica 4.2%. However Good Bauxite at Lohardaga Hindalco mines has got exhausted and TAA availability is between 37-38%, Silica is between %. Normally plant design takes care of generated waste storage infrastructure. However, due to various external factor waste storage infrastructures that were not developed for fly ash storage, only Red mud (Bauxite residue) storage facility was enhanced by dry mud storage vertically in 2015. However, the red mud dump collapsed in April 2019, and technology failed. Now units have no storage facility for red mud, it is completely dependent on demand by cement industries who use red mud as raw material for cement manufacturing. Cement industries also use fly ash for cement manufacturing. So overall plant production capacity is controlled by red mud and ash demand by cement industry and quality of Bauxite available from Hindalco mines.Following are the major challenges for Refinery operation: ---Bauxite quality --- Poor availability of good quality bauxite which has adverse impact on refinery operation like higher cost, processing of unproductive extra mud, higher specific consumptions of various raw materials and chemicals.Bauxite residue management --- Non-availability of Bauxite residue storage yard, dependency on cement industries for consumption of red mud.Bauxite residue moisture management --- Cement industries need lower moisture
