Cimenterie Nationale has inaugurated the new bag filter at its Chekka plant. The new filter will reduce SOx and NOx emissions to 15mg/m3, well below the international norm of 50mg/m3.
At the ceremony, which was attended by more than 200 distinguished guests, Cimenterie Nationale’s CEO, Pierre Doumet, said the new filter was testimony to “a permanent modernisation” of the works, a plan started two-and-a-half years ago by the company.
However, the US$200m project is still awaiting the required permits of an industrial conveyor belt to transport the raw material to the plant, two clinker and petcoke storage halls, a crusher large enough to replace the current five. In addition, the plant also wants to double its kiln capacity.
