Poland: Lafarge Poland has laid the foundation stone for the Euro100m new kiln line at its Małogoszcz cement plant. The replacement of the three existing kilns and installation of an alternative fuel (AF) line aims to reduce the plant’s CO₂ emissions by 20% and its energy consumption by 33%. The company, a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Holcim, aims to make the cement plant into one of the EU’s most modern. China National Building Material (CNBM) subsidiary Nanjing Kisen International Engineering will carry out the work, which is scheduled for completion in early 2023.

Project director Krzysztof Byczyński said “One of the three kilns has already been demolished and in its place a new kiln will be built with the necessary installations. Preparatory works for the construction of a new kiln are currently underway.”

China: CNBM has entered into a joint venture with Conch Ventures to establish a business processing solid waste to support co-processing at its cement plants. The new company will process at least 3Mt/yr of solid waste.

China: Guangzhou Zhujiang Cement has completed a dry sludge co-processing project at its plant in Shenxian, Baiyun in Guangdong. The plant can process 300t/day of the dry sludge. CNBM Sinoma’s subsidiary Tianjin Cement Industry Design & Research Institute (TCDRI) was the main contractor on the initiative. The project was agreed in early 2016, built in 2017 and then tested from late 2017.
