During the start-up of an aluminium reduction cell of the VS Söderberg type, hydrocarbon and fluoride fumes are emitted into the cellroom building. Such fumes are undesirable because they contaminate the working atmosphere. This paper presents a study on the capture of these fumes by a gas collection system. The appropriate gas exhaust rate was determined by a study of the air flow near the cell. This air flow is caused by turbulent natural convection due to the hot surfaces of some of the cell components and also due to partial combustion of the hydrocarbons. The air flow was calculated by CFD modelling using the TASCflow3D software of ASC. The gas exhaust rate required for the capture of the hydrocarbon and fluoride fumes was estimated at 21,000 SCFM. This modelling study was done in support of work for the Société Canadienne de Métaux Reynolds Ltée at Baie-Comeau, Québec.
