Efficient mills, cleaner results

Opportunity • Shifted to 100% separate ALGERIA Cement
To reduce Scope 2 grinding and installed
CO₂ emissions, Biskra ceramic rollers for higher
Plant sought to boost cement mill output
operational efficiency and
stabilize performance Cost:
in both raw and cement Optimization: 0 CHF
grinding operations. Ceramic rollers: 255 kCHF
Timeline: 1 year
Solution
A focused efficiency Results CO 2 REDUCTION: 3,600 TONS/YEAR
program was launched • Energy savings:
to optimize both raw and 6,500 MWh/year Adham ElSharkawy
cement mill operations, • CO₂ emissions CEO
