Kenya: East Africa Portland Cement began work to replace a 16.5m-length of kiln shell at its Athi River cement plant at the end of July 2022. The producer says that the project will increase the kiln line’s capacity by 1400t/day.

Managing director Oliver Kirubai said "Due to the high costs of energy and an old clinker line, the board has prioritised efficiency and reliability of our integrated plant operations to drive cost optimisation.”
