AVIC International, in collaboration with Humboldt Wedag GmbH (KHD) will build CIMAF’s 900 tpd clay calcination plant in Burkina Faso. KHD’s calcination system is based on a two-stage preheater with flash calciner (chart) and pre-combustor. AVIC will supply the plant in an EPC contract. The project will integrate with the existing clinker grinding line to produce calcined clay cement, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 30%. This project is a key component of CIMAF’s strategy to enhance sustainability. It is supported by a loan from the IFC (we reported 10.08.2024). The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-2026.
