Cement manufacturing process
The key operational areas of a cement plant are:
• Raw material extraction
• Kiln feed preparation
• Kiln operations – “burning” clinker
• Cement grinding
• Cement shipping
• Quality control
13

Limestone is the main component
• Main component of cement
plant raw mix is limestone
• Limestone consists mainly of
calcium, a lesser percentage
of silica, and possibly small
amounts of alumina and iron
• Typically 80% - 90% of the
mix

Port capabilities & river access
Key element of success for this plant is river access
• Bulk transportation efficiencies (1,500 t barges) for loading
& unloading
• Allows access to low-cost fuels & raw materials
Coal, Petcoke, Gypsum, Fly ash
• Utilizes Holcim’s established network of river terminals and
barge line agreements for transportation
