Hungary: Lafarge Hungary, part of LafargeHolcim, has awarded a contract to Germany-based Loesche subsidiary A TEC for the supply of an alternative fuel (AF) flash dryer for the 1.0Mt/yr kiln line at its Királyegyháza cement plant in Baranya county. The supplier says that the dryer will use residual hot gas from the chlorine bypass system in conjunction with a satellite burner for firing the material in the kiln. The project also includes the installation of a new AF receiving, handling, and dosing system for a second AF flow firing directly into the kiln burner. A TEC says that it will commission the project in the second quarter of 2021 after the end of the plant’s 2020/2021 winter shutdown.

Hungary: Lafarge Cement Hungary plans to spend Euro6.2m on an upgrade at its integrated Kiralyegyháza plant. The investment will be used to increase its alternative fuels substitution rate to 80% from 60% at present, according to MTI. The unit’s CO₂, emissions will also be reduced by 10%. The upgrade will start in late 2019 with expansion of the plant’s alternative fuels storage capacity planned for the first half of 2020.
