FLSmidth has been selected to supply the major equipment pieces needed as Holcim (US) looks to modernise its Ada, Oklahoma, plant.

The modernisation of the pyroprocess is expected to deliver lower emissions of nearly all air pollutants while anticipating an increase in the plant’s capacity.

The contract includes a dryer crusher, a single stage preheater with an ILC-calciner, a dedusting cyclone, a ROTAX-2® kiln, a kiln bypass system, a Duoflex® kiln burner and an FLSmidth® Cross-Bar® cooler.

With the installation of two new FLSmidth dust collectors, the project will significantly improve the plant's ability to reduce the particulate emissions.
