The St Marys Cement plant in Bowmanville, Ontario is the largest producer of cement clinker in Canada. In operation since 1968, the plant underwent a major upgrade in the early 1990s to replace two former wet process kilns with a single dry FLSmidth kiln with a preheater. To coincide with the tour by delegates of the IEEE-IAS/PCA taking place in nearby Toronto, Plant Manager Jim Storey recently took the time to speak with Global Cement about the plant's history, production process, markets and the future.
