ALUMINUM WATER LOOP

Diagnose Aluminum Recycled-Water Backups

If the Water output from an Aluminum Scrap refinery cannot leave, Scrap production can stop and back up the upstream Alumina Solution process. Compare the per-minute Water flow in the current base recipes.

Clear the backup in this order

Check the Water output from the Aluminum Scrap refinery first, then compare it with the demand and actual operating rate of the process consuming recycled Water. Restore output space and stable consumption before restarting Scrap and upstream production.
