Atlantic Alumina, located on the Mississippi River in Gramercy, Louisiana, is the only major alumina refinery operating in the United States. The facility imports bauxite from the company's surface mining operation in Jamaica. Bauxite ore is transported by ship to Gramercy where it is unloaded and refined through a chemical process into Alumina, the common name for aluminum oxide.

We use a sustainable, continuous loop process consisting of digestion…clarification…precipitation…and calcination…to produce more than 1 Million Metric Tons per Year of alumina in the form of wet hydrate cake, dry hydrate and smelter grade alumina which are used for a variety of specialized products and as an intermediate step in the production of aluminum.

At every step of these processes, the Safety of our workforce and the Quality of our products are top priorities. Atlantic Alumina employees are part of a proud team whose work makes an everyday impact on the world.

During 2018/19, the plant capacity was expanded to store and more effectively manage its bauxite residue. This $25 plus million investment significantly reduces our ongoing environmental footprint and provides a vehicle to significantly reduce the volume of existing bauxite residue storage areas, extending the effective life of the facility.

Manufacturers use Gramercy's smelter-grade alumina (SGA) to produce aluminum and its chemical-grade alumina's (CGA) as a critical ingredient in products such as water treatment chemicals; flame retardants; catalysts for oil, gas and other refineries; building materials; and numerous other industrial and consumer products in the chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, coatings, cosmetics, ceramics and pigments industries on a global scale.

-  Operator Training & Safety Reinforcement: Coach operators on safe operating practices, alarm response, and recognition of abnormal conditions.

-  Field Presence & Safety Leadership: Maintain strong presence on the production floor to observe conditions, verify safe behaviors, and support safe execution of work.

-  Continuous Improvement

-  Lead improvement projects to increase efficiency, throughput, yield, and reduce downtime and waste.

-  Support initiatives to improve OEE and other operational KPIs.

-  Project Support

-  Support small to medium engineering projects, including equipment upgrades, layout changes, process improvements, and automation enhancements.

-  Participate in commissioning, SAT/FAT, startup, and operator training for new equipment or process changes.

-  Work cross-functionally on new product introductions (NPI) or process transitions to ensure manufacturability and smooth startup.

-  Data & Reporting

-  Track, analyze, and communicate performance metrics, including throughput, downtime, scrap, OEE, cycle time, and efficiency trends.

-  Prepare daily/weekly production reports, identify performance gaps, and recommend corrective actions.

-  Leverage data to prioritize improvement activities and guide decision-making.
