Limak Çimento plans to install a HotDisk reactor in its Kilis cement plant in Türkiye by 2025. The HotDisk will replace about 80% of the lignite fuel in a 5000 tpd in-line calciner, resulting in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The lignite will be mainly replaced with shredded tires in an attempt to enable the maximum calorific value to be gained from the alternative fuel. The HotDisk technology has been launched to the market over 20 years ago. In Türkiye this will mark the 4th installation.

Turkmenistan’s Baherden Cement started 2nd line
Baherden Cement started its second 1.0 Mta cement production line in the Ahal province of Turkmenistan. Turkish Bilim Makina was responsible for the plant installation. The major equipment has been purchased from German suppliers, including KHD Humboldt Wedag for the kiln system and the Aumund Group for belt bucket elevators and other conveying equipment. With line 1, which had been installed in 2005, Baherden Cement will become one of Central Asia’s major cement producers. The new kiln is already the second new line after the Lebab project (we reported 15.03.2024) that started in Turkmenistan this year, underlining the growing market demand.

Germany’s Dyckerhoff plans large-scale CCS in Deuna
Dyckerhoff, which is part of the Buzzi Group, announced that in the Deuna cement plant in Thuringia in Germany a large-scale CCS unit will be installed for the production of net-zero cement. The planned investment is € 350m to capture about 0.62 Mta of CO2 for further processing and storage, opening in year 2029. Detailed engineering has been started after finishing two successful feasibility studies. Anyhow, the investment still needs the local regulatory approvals as well as the go-ahead by the Dyckerhoff Supervisory Board.
Estonia’s cement production still -12.5% in 1.Q 2024
