Germany: Italcementi has awarded KHD a contract to upgrade and redevelop its Brescia Rezzato plant in Italy. The upgraded plant, situated in the environmentally sensitive Lake Garda region, will have to adhere to strict environmental requirements.
Italcementi has selected KHD's Clean Technology for the upgrade. It includes a KHD COMFLEX® SC 18 – 3250 system for raw material grinding, a Two-Pier PYRORAPID® Kiln 3000t/day 4.4m x 52m, a PFC PYRFLOOR® clinker cooler 635 AW and a Low NOX 5 stage Preheater 7950 PR.
KHD will also supply additional environmental equipment including selective catalytic reduction systems, a gas conditioning tower, selective non catalytic reduction systems, as well as special filter systems to reduce SOX. KHD will install much of the equipment whilst the existing kiln continues to operate.
The Rezzato plant, built in 1964, was designed by former Italcementi chairman Giampiero Pesenti, father of current Italcementi CEO Carlo Pesenti, during his tenure as an engineer. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2014, in time for Italcementi's 150th anniversary.
