Cement plant expansion projects in Latin America Peru Three projects contracted during the first half of 2009 will enable the cement manufacturers to increase net production in Peru by over 12,000 tonnes per day (tpd). This will support both economic growth and the government’s plans for new investments in infrastructure. The contracts are further evidence of FLSmidth’s ability to offer solutions that minimise the total cost of ownership. All equipment has been selected to minimise operating costs and ensure that all applicable World Bank environmental standards are achieved. The scope of all three contracts also includes engineering services, project management, training and commissioning. A new pyroprocessing line at Cemento Andino S.A.’s Condorcocha plant, some 200 km from the capital of Lima, will expand capacity from 2,100 tpd to almost 6,000 tpd. For this project FLSmidth will supply a 5-stage preheater with an ILC (In-Line Calciner) and a Multi-Movable Cross-Bar (MMC) cooler.
A new 4,200 tpd pyroprocessing line at Yura S.A.’s plant near the city of Arequipa in southern Peru will incorporate the most modern processes, and will expand the total capacity at Yura’s plant to 6,200 tpd of clinker. FLSmidth will supply an ILC 5-stage preheater with low NOx and low CO calciner, a two-support kiln, an MMC cooler with heavy-duty roller breaker, a CF silo and a kiln feed system. In addition, all the main process baghouses will be supplied. Cementos Lima S.A.’s plant in the Atocongo area near Lima will be expanded to produce 15,000 tonnes of clinker per day, a net increase of nearly 4,250 tpd. FLSmidth is to supply a 5-stage preheater with an ILC and an MMC cooler. The contract also includes a baghouse filter shared by the kiln and raw mill as well as a cooler vent electrostatic precipitator. Cementos Lima and FLSmidth have a long history of successful projects. FLSmidth KOCH recently commissioned a new 8.2 km pipe conveyor system which connects the cement plant with Lima’s shipping terminal at the port of Conchan. Uruguay Administración Nacional de Combustibles, Alcohol y Portland (ANCAP) has contracted with FLSmidth to provide equipment and supervision for the upgrading of two cement plants in Uruguay. The equipment is for the Minas plant in the Lavalleja province, 120 km northeast of the capital of Montevideo, and for the Paysandú plant located 400 km northwest of Montevideo near the Argentinian border.
For the Minas plant, FLSmidth is to supply a complete coal grinding system which includes raw coal feeding equipment, an ATOX coal mill and fine coal silos. The contract also includes a complete pyroprocessing line comprising a slurry drier, a two-stage preheater, coal feeders and burners, an SF Cross-Bar cooler and a clinker belt conveyor plus a complete electrical and control equipment package. The Minas plant will be prepared for possible subsequent conversion to the dry process, which is more energy efficient and substantially reduces the plant’s NOx emission. For the Paysandú plant, FLSmidth is to supply a complete coal grinding system comprising a raw coal feeding system, an ATOX coal mill, fine coal silos, and coal feeders and burners. The system is to process and fire coal to the plant’s two cement kilns. The Paysandú contract also includes a complete electrical and control equipment package. In addition, FLSmidth has signed supervision contracts for both plants. The contracts run until 2012 and cover supervision of the construction, installa- tion and commissioning of the two production plants. “These orders mark a continuation of FLSmidth’s very close relations with the customer, which started back in 1956 when FLSmidth supplied the first pyroprocessing line for the then newly established Minas cement plant. We are proud and happy to continue the relationship with ANCAP, now contributing to the quality assurance and modernisation of their cement production,” Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Huno Rasmussen says. India’s cement industry chooses FLSmidth for ongoing capacity expansion Repeat order from Chettinad Cement In India’s Tamil Nadu state, Chettinad Cement has placed an order for their brownfield Karikkali plant. The successful Indian cement producer plans to expand production by 4,000 tpd. The contract with FLSmidth reflects the impressive performance in implementing two earlier projects for Chettinad in 2006 and 2007 at their Ariyalur site.
In November 2006, Chettinad Cement ordered a 4,000 tpd line for their Ariyalur Line-1 Project comprising an ATOX 42.5 raw mill, an ATOX 22.5 coal mill, a single string 5-stage ILC preheater, a 4.15 x 64 m kiln and SF 3x5 Cross-Bar cooler and an Airtech electrostatic pre- cipitator. The plant was commissioned and performance guarantee tests were successfully completed during June 2009. In October 2007, a repeat of the above was ordered for Chettinad’s line-2 in Ariyalur, and the kiln was recently successfully lit. KCP Limited chooses FLSmidth Automation
FLSmidth Automation is to supply plant electrification and automation for KCP’s upcoming greenfield 4,500 tpd cement production unit at Muktyala near Jaggayyapet, Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh. FLSmidth will provide power distribution equipment, control and management systems, a quality control system and a fully automated laboratory. The total solution includes complete design, engineering, supply and integration of the delivered equipment for the most optimum performance of the plant. FLSmidth wins large cement orders in Indonesia FLSmidth has signed contracts in Indonesia for two 8,000 tonnes per day production lines that will increase the capacity of two existing cement plants.
One line is for PT Semen Gresik’s Tuban plant, which is located approximately 100 km west of Surabaya in East Java. The other is for the Gresik-owned PT Semen Tonasa plant located some 50 km north of Makassar on the island of Sulawesi. The Gresik Group is today Indonesia’s largest cement producer with a total annual capacity of approximately 18 million tonnes cement. The new line at Tuban will be this plant’s fourth line. The three existing ones were supplied by FLSmidth during the 1990s. The new line at Tonasa will be the fifth at this plant. Three of the existing lines are currently in operation and major parts of them were supplied by FLSmidth over the past 30 years. “The Indonesian cement market is very well known to FLSmidth and we have a long and outstanding relationship with the Gresik Group. In the past, FLSmidth has provided technology for three Gresik cement plants: Tuban, Tonasa and Padang. Most of the equipment at the plants was supplied by FLSmidth, with the first production line at Padang dating as far back as 1910,” Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments. Fourth cement mill for Egyptian cement producer Egyptian Sinai Cement Company has awarded FLSmidth a contract for a cement mill with a capacity of 120 tonnes per hour (tph). The UMS mill, size 15.5x46 and equipped with a SEPAX 375 separator, is to produce Ordinary Portland Cement. The contract includes fabric filters and material handling equipment from the mill installation to the silos. FLSmidth has a more than 100 year long history on the Egyptian cement market. This is the fourth mill delivered to the same customer since its plant came on stream in 2001. It illustrates the good relationship built with Sinai Cement Company through the previous orders. Commissioning of the mill is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010. Large greenfield cement project in Libya Libya is continuously developing its infrastructure to meet the needs of an expanding economy. To cope with the ever increasing demand for cement, a new company has been formed under the name of Al Hadena National Company to build a complete greenfield cement plant near the town of Nalout. The town is situated only 60 km from the Tunisian border, some 280 kilometres southwest of Libya’s capital Tripoli.
Al Hadena National Company has teamed up with FLSmidth to build the new 4,600 tonnes per day plant. The latter has signed a substantial contract to engineer and supply equipment and to design buildings and structures. The technology to be supplied includes raw material processing in the form of an EV crusher, an LHO stacker reclaimer and an ATOX raw mill. The pyro section will include a preheater kiln with an SF Cross-Bar cooler. And the cement grinding section will feature two UMS ball mills, four CFS cement silos and a complete packing plant. The contract with FLSmidth also includes all electrical and control equipment plus laboratory systems. The comprehensive cement plant project is scheduled to come on stream in 2011. | ||||
