Yura to install Line 3 AF handling equipment
Cemento Yura SA, part of the Gloria Group, plans to install a new system for the reception, storage, dosage and transportation of alternative fuels for the third kiln line at its Arequipa plant.
The PEN2,494,514 (US$665,980) project will see the installation of a 2000m2 storage platform at floor level, a reception hopper with guillotine gate, a blower of 1200m3/h, 24m of steel piping and a metal support structure.
As a result, the company expects to reduce fossil fuel use with a positive effect on clinker production cost.
The new AF handling facility is scheduled for completion in approximately three months’ time, excluding a 14-day testing period.
