CEMENT ENERGY SAVING

closed

The Cement Industry Project will help the cement industry of India to achieve a higher operating efficiency through: (i) modernization of its facilities including conversion of six private sector cement plants and one public sector plant. This will involve conversion of the plants' inefficient wet process to a modern dry process which includes precalciner technology. In addition, the project will include small scale rehabilitation and modernization investments at other cement plants; (ii) training programs, curriculum development; and (iii) technical assistance. The project will improve fuel efficiency, increase cement output, enhance environmental control, upgrade operator skills, and promote the policy for complete decontrol of pricing and output.
