The new cement factory has an installed production capacity of one million metric tonnes annually. It was developed at an estimated cost of US$185 million. Other credible sources have estimated cost at US$199 million. [3] Commercial production started during the first half of 2018. [8]
Over a billion tonnes of cement are made per year, and cement kilns are the heart of this production process: their capacity usually defines the capacity of the cement plant. As the main energy-consuming and greenhouse-gas–emitting stage of cement manufacture, improvement of kiln efficiency has been the central concern of cement manufacturing ...
Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general use around the world as a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It was developed from other types of hydraulic lime in England in the early 19th century by Joseph Aspdin , and is usually made from limestone .
