Located in Limassol, this cement production line is the largest one in EU countries. The project investors are Italcementi Gruppo, Church of Cyprus and one local cement producer. It’s contracted by CBMI Construction Co., Ltd. and two other local companies with CBMI responsible for engineering design, equipment supply, equipment installation and modification of the existing line.
State-of-the-art process and technologies are adopted for this project. Alternative fuels like shredded tires, municipal solid wastes and sludge are used, replacing at least 50% traditional fuels. Moreover, CO2 emission is down 17% compared with the existing production line in the plant and power consumption lowered by 5%-10%.
Provisional Acceptance Certificate for cement grinding system was issued on December 15th 2010 and that for the whole line on July 29th 2011.
