Turkey: DAL Teknik Makina says that Çimsa Çimento has engaged its services for a cyclone replacement at its 3.4Mt/yr Mersin cement plant in Mersin Province. The upgrade consists of “modification of the first and second-stage cyclones and riser ducts in the first clinker production line, downcomer ducts modification, dip tubes, pendulum flaps, meal pipes and splash boxes installation and refractory procurement and installation.”

The group said, “The modification project will allow electrical and a small amount of heat energy reduction by reducing pressure drop and improving separation efficiency of the cyclones.”

Azerbaijan: Germany-based Sustained Visions has announced the commissioning of Akkord Cement subsidiary Qazax Sement Zavodu’s 1.3Mt/yr-capacity integrated Gazakh cement plant in Ganja-Gazakh region following a phase-two upgrade completed in collaboration with the owner and DAL Holding subsidiary DAL Teknik Makina. The plant, built in 2013, had an original capacity of 0.9Mt/yr.

Sustained Visions praised the collaborative effort, which has resulted in a “significant reduction in specific energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions” for the plant, and “shows very stable performance.” Managing director Ralf Slomski noted that, in spite of the coronavirus outbreak, the company was able to maintain a project management team of five staff on the site at peak periods.

Azerbaijan: Turkey’s Dal Teknik Makina is set to start work on an upgrade project at Akkord Cement’s integrated plant at Gazakh. It will increase the clinker production capacity to 3300t/day from 2500t/day. The supply of equipment is expected to be completed in six months and the shutdown period is planning to be five weeks. No value for the order has been disclosed.

The first phase of the upgrade project will be the retrofit of the raw mill unit. A static drying separator will be placed in front of the raw mill to dry clay and some of limestone. Equipment to be replaced in the raw mill unit include a dynamic separator, ball charge modification, all parts of separator cyclones and the raw mill fan. The raw mill grinding capacity will be upgraded by drying the raw materials and enhancing the separation efficiency.

The next phase will consist of replacing the raw mill/kiln bag filter and filter fan to reach the desired upgraded capacity. Finally, the pyro-processing system unit will be modified. In order to reach the target production capacity the equipment to be changed will be the first four stage cyclones with the modification of the calciner-TAD connection and new splash boxes will be installed.

Egypt/Qatar/Russia/Turkey: Dal Engineering Group has released information about recent project from its Dal Teknik Makina subsidiary in Russia, Egypt and Qatar. In Russia Dal Teknik Makina is currently converting a production line at Eurocement’s Zhigulovskiye Stroymaterialy plant in Samara to manufacture white cement. The project started in November 2018.

In Egypt Dal Teknik Makina conducted a technical audit for HeidelbergCement’s Helwan Cement plant in February 2019. It was carried out on clinker production line one. In Qatar Dal Teknik Makina was awarded a contract in February 2019 to install a pilot scale plant for a calcium sulfoaluminate clinker production line. Dal’s engineers will evaluate the concept and identify the possible problems with operation, and supply the complete engineering and instrumentation for the whole project.

Peru: UNACEM has ordered a clinker cooler for its Condorcorcha cement plant from Turkey’s Fons Technology International, part of Dal Engineering Group. The cement producer will replace its existing cooler with a new FTI clinker cooler. The FTI cooler is designed so that it can reuse the existing cooler casing and refractory. It has also ordered a three-roller crusher for its 1500t/day clinker production line. Installation is scheduled for September 2019. No value for the order has been disclosed.

Russia: Eurocement has hired Turkey’s Dal Teknik to upgrade a production line at its Zhigulovskiye Stroymaterialy plant in Samara so that it can manufacture white cement. The project has a budget of around Euro13m. Once complete the line will be able to produce 0.3Mt/yr of PCB 1-500-D0 or just below 0.4Mt/yr PCB 1-400-D20 white cement. The new product will be sold in big or regular sized bags. First deliveries are expected in the summer of 2019.

Turkey: Dal Teknik Makina has completed an upgrade project on Kiln Line 1 at Nuh Çimento in Kocaeli. Key features of the project included increasing the line’s production capacity, decreasing its energy requirements, making savings on power consumption and lowering the exit temperature of the clinker. The work has increased the plant’s production capacity to 3400t/day from 2800t/day. Other benefits of the update include decreasing the specific heat consumption of clinker to 740kcal/kg clinker from 870kcal/kg clinker, reducing electrical power consumption by 7kWh/t and increasing the raw mill capacity to 185t/hr from 160t/hr. The exit temperature of clinker was also reduced to 55^oC plus the ambient temperature.

This project involved the design, manufacturing and erection of the pre-heater tower cyclones group, kiln feed transport system, clinker cooler, kiln hood, removing of dust cyclone at tertiary air duct, cooler vent fan modification, main bag filter duct modification and kiln inlet seal and commissioning of the system.

The first part of the upgrade project was the modification of the pre-heater tower, which as a result reduced the pressure drop, improved heat transfer and separation efficiency, and heat consumption. The second part of the project was the retrofit of the grate cooler. The clinker cooler, kiln hood, cooler fans and cooler vent fan were replaced by Fons Technology International. In this part, kiln hood, cooler vent, exit pipe of waste heat recovery (WHR) unit and tertiary air duct were modified as well. The third part was to replace the horizontal duct of main bag filter inlet with an inclined one in order to avoid dust accumulation. The last step was the replacement of the pneumatic kiln feed by bucket elevator.

The project followed Dal Teknik Makina’s Filter-To-Filter Pyro-Process Concept.

Uzbekistan: Turkey’s DAL Teknik Makina has ordered a MVR 5000 R-4 cement grinding mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer for a project in the Surxondaryo region. The mill will have a 3700kW drive and it will be able to grind 400t/hr of cement. Feed material with a moisture level of up to 7% will be ground to a fineness of 12% R 0.090mm. The mill will be ready for shipping later in 2017. The project is the second mill that DAL Teknik Makina has ordered from Gebr. Pfeiffer.

Uzbekistan: The Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine (AMMC) is planning to build a 1.5Mt/yr cement plant in the Surkhandarya region of southern Uzbekistan in 2015. The contract is being negotiated with Turkey's Dal Teknik Makina with a completion date set for 2015, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti. The US$250m project will be financed by equity funds of the AMMC, credits from the Fund for Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan and local Uzbek banks.

In late March 2014 the AMMC completed construction of a cement plant in Jizzakh region with a value of US$114m. The plant has a production capacity of 0.75Mt/yr of grey OPC and 0.35Mt/yr of white cement. The general contractor of the project was also Dal Teknik Makina.

Uzbekistan: The Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Plant (AMMP) plans to build a US$250m cement plant in the Surkhandarya region in southern Uzbekistan. The Government of Uzbekistan has instructed AMMP to start negotiations with Turkey's Dal Teknik Makina on the project's implementation. The plant will have a cement production capacity of 1.5Mt/yr and should be completed by 2017.

The project will be financed by AMMP with loans from the Fund for Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan and Uzbek banks. Previously the plant was to be built by the national oil and gas company Uzbekneftegaz but it failed to attract foreign partners to the project.

AMMP and Dal Teknik Makina are also collaborating on a cement plant in the Jizakh region of Uzbekistan. The plant is due to be built by the end of 2014.
