Alumina Solution

Alumina Solution is a fluid solution of Bauxite and Water. It is only used to produce Aluminum Scrap for further processing.

Tips

 * The aluminum production is a looping recipe both using and producing Water. To prevent the recycled Water from backing up and clogging the setup, Pipeline systems for fresh and recycled Water and connected Refinery setups should be separated.
 * For example: a setup utilizing 480 Bauxite/min producing 822.85 [[Aluminum Scrap/min consumes 685.71 m of Water/min but produces 137.14 of it at the end, which means that only 548.57 m of Water should be extracted. Therefore, there should be two setups for producing Alumina Solution, one solely from fresh Water (5.49 Refineries) and the other one solely from recycled Water (1.38). If underclocking is preffered over overclocking, there will be 8 Refineries total. Alumina Solution from both sources is then mixed and processed in 2.29 Refineries into Scrap.
 * The Silica produced as a byproduct does not suffice for Aluminum Ingot production (using the standard recipe), more of it has to be produced from Raw Quartz.
