The industrial complex of the plant includes electrolysis, foundry and anode shops, as well as power supply and infrastructure facilities. It consists of two series with a capacity of about 296 thousand tons of aluminum per year each. Each series includes two production buildings. A total of 672 RA-300 electrolysers will be installed at BoAZ, manufactured according to RUSAL's own technology, which allows one electrolyser to produce 2,442 kg of aluminum per day. There are also four gas purification systems, the use of a closed water purification system, which is used for the first time in Russia in an aluminum production. The plant is equipped with equipment from the world's leading manufacturers from Canada, France, Australia and Germany. Raw materials for aluminum production are supplied to BoAZ from different parts of the world. The alumina supplier is a plant in Australia owned by RUSAL. Anode blocks are supplied to BoAZ from China. All other raw materials (fluorspar, aluminum fluoride, etc.) are supplied to the plant by domestic producers.
