Xuan Thanh Cement has awarded FLSmidth with a DKK550m (US$82.6m) contract for a new brownfield production line at its facility in Ha Nam province, Vietnam.
FLSmidth will design and engineer the new clinker production line and deliver equipment for the entire process from crushing to clinker silo. The order is due to be completed by the end of 2020, and once operational the production line will have a capacity of 12,500tpd.
In 2015, Xuan Thanh Cement placed a similar order for a production line that has been operating successfully since 2017.
"We are very pleased to continue our engagement with Xuan Thanh Cement. It is rewarding to work with a customer that combines a strong focus on reliable and efficient production with the ambition to minimise its environmental impact. Our cooperation shows that when you focus on total cost of ownership, you can get energy-efficient equipment that lowers emissions without compromising productivity," says Jan Kjaersgaard, president of the cement division, FLSmidth.
The order has become effective immediately, with engineering work scheduled to be performed in the coming months. The main revenue from the deal is expected to be recognised during 2020.
