Oman: FLSmidth has received an order worth US$38m from Oman Cement Company for the supply of milling equipment for a cement plant located in Rusayl Industrial Area, 60km from Port Sultan Qaboos, Muscat.
The order includes a 150t/hr closed circuit ball mill system that consists of two 8000t capacity cement silos. The scope of supply also includes a high-efficiency central drive for the ball mill and a dynamic separator and fabric filters to reduce dust emissions.
"Infrastructure growth in Oman has created a huge demand for cement. Oman Cement Company are already upgrading their existing production lines and now want to set up a fifth cement grinding unit. FLSmidth has a strong service capability and presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and therefore has good relations with the company," said group executive vice president Bjarne Moltke Hansen.
The order will be booked by the Cement division and contribute to FLSmidth's earnings until mid-2015.
