Argentina: Loma Negra has signed a deal to buy renewable energy from local power company Genneia for a 20-year period starting in January 2018. The agreement will include energy generated by the Parque Eólico Rawson wind farm that is scheduled to complete a 24MW expansion in December 2017.

Nepal: Ghorahi Cement has ordered a vertical roller mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer for its Kapilvastu Cement Udhyog grinding plant at Sonparwa, Barkalpure in the Kapilvastu District. Ordinary Portland Cement will be ground on a type MVR 3070 C-4 mill with a capacity of 70t/hr. The mill will be equipped with a SLS 2650 BC classifier. The grinding plant can also be used for the grinding of mixed cements with granulated blast-furnace slag or fly ash.

The core components of the MVR mill and a 1250kW gearbox will be supplied by Gebr. Pfeiffer from Europe. The remaining components of the mill and classifier will be supplied by Gebr. Pfeiffer (India), which will also provide most of the components for plant such as handling equipment for feed and take-away, plant filter, plant fan, hot gas generator, motors, frequency converters, proportioning belt scales and so on. The Indian subsidiary will also be responsible for any plant engineering. The scope of supply of Gebr. Pfeiffer also includes monitoring and coordination of erection as well as commissioning of the grinding plant. No value for the order has been disclosed.

UAE: India’s Thermax Group has won a contract worth US$43m to build a captive power plant for a cement company in the UAE. The scope of supply for the unnamed customer includes design, engineering, manufacturing, construction and commissioning of the solid fuel based power plant with two circulating fluidised bed combustion (CFBC) boilers. It will also supply emission control equipment and a water treatment plant for the project, which will be commissioned by mid-2019. The order is Thermax’s first in the Gulf Cooperation Council region.

Pakistan: Germany’s Loesche has been awarded a contract for four vertical roller mills by China’s Chengdu Design & Research Institute for
Pakistan’s Pioneer Cement, which is expanding its production capacity to 8000t/day in the Chenki/Khusab district in Punjab Province. The contract includes a 630t/hr Loesche mill for grinding raw meal, two Loesche finish mills, each with a capacity of 235t/hr and a 60t/hr Loesche coal mill.

Loesche Dynamic Classifiers will be used to ensure the appropriate fineness. The patented Vortex Rectifier and an optimised flow characteristic produce significantly lower energy consumption and therefore lower operating costs.

Efficient dedusting of the raw material mill is carried out using two HURRICLON® systems from Loesche’s A TEC subsidiary. This gives the advantage of reducing the total energy requirement of the plant due to the low pressure loss and high degree of separation. It also creates savings in steel construction and installation due to the significantly lower weight compared to conventional cyclone technology.

Delivery is due by the autumn of 2018.

Nepal: FLSmidth has signed a contract to build a cement grinding line for Nepal Shalimar Cement. The agreement includes the engineering, procurement and supply of equipment for a 35t/hr ordinary Portland cement grinding unit (3200 Blaine) at the company’s existing plant at Simara, Bara District.

The contract comprises a range of equipment, including an FLSmidth OK 19-3 vertical mill, bag filters, weigh feeders, truck loading machine, OK mill gear reducer and plant control systems. Completion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.

"The project is an example that world class energy-efficient technology can be applied even for smaller capacity grinding units. Our technological competences and a strong local presence allow us to support many emerging markets, including Nepal," said Country Head of FLSmidth India, Carsten Riisberg Lund.

Pakistan: Loesche has provided an LM 56.3+3 CS vertical roller mill for cement grinding to Attock Cement Pakistan Ltd (ACPL). The new mill will be used in the new line three of the cement plant in Hub Chowki in Pakistan, in the Lasbela/Baluchistan district, 20km north of Karachi. The mills will grind OPC cement with a fineness of 3300 Blaine at a capacity of 200t/hr or 2800 Blaine at a capacity of 240t/hr.

Alongside the delivery of the mill, the Loesche mandate also includes the monitoring and assembly as well as the commissioning, which is due to take place in mid-2017. The Chinese company Hefei Cement Research & Design Institute, with which Loesche has successfully delivered mills on a regular basis, will act as Loesche’s contractor and will assume overall responsibility for the new cement line.

Africa: Humboldt Wedag, a subsidiary of KHD Humboldt Wedag International (KHD), has signed contracts worth over Euro80mfor the supply of equipment and execution of civil and erection works as well as supervision services for a cement plant in the western Sub-Sahara region of Africa.

No further information regarding the client or the country has been disclosed.

Canada: NovaAlgoma Cement Carriers’ (NACC) Canadian subsidiary has been awarded a long-term time charter agreement with Lafarge Canada, for the provision of a modern pneumatic cement carrier early in 2018. A bulk carrier owned by NACC will be converted into a pneumatic cement carrier. It will have maximum cargo deadweight in excess of 12,500t. The conversion process is expected to take around 10 months.

The vessel will primarily carry cement from Lafarge Canada's cement plant in Bath, Ontario to distribution facilities throughout the Great Lakes but the vessel will be capable of other services for Lafarge. NACC Shipping Canada will operate and manage the vessel in Canada. No duration for the contract has been released.
