FLSmidth has received an order worth US$38m from Oman Cement Co for the supply of milling equipment for a grinding plant located in Rusayl Industrial Area, 6km from Port Sultan Qaboos, Muscat.
 
The order covers supply of a 150tph closed circuit ball mill system including two cement silos, each with a capacity of 8000t. The scope of supply also includes a high-efficiency central drive for the ball mill and a dynamic separator and fabric filters to reduce dust emission.

FLSmidth has a strong service capability and presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and therefore has good relations with the company,"  FLSmidth Group Executive Vice President, Bjarne Moltke Hansen, said.
