The February 2020 issue of Global Cement Magazine has a strong fuels and pyro-processing focus to tie in with the Global CemFuels Conference in Paphos, Cyprus. Topics include alternatives for coal, RDF handling, refractory installation, coolers and explosion protection. There's also a report from alternative fuels handling expert Di Matteo Group on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary.
Elsewhere we look at the key challenges cement producers will face in the 2020s, chains, dust control and the use of plant visits as a PR tool. Our regional reports take in Germany and the Levant, including Cyprus. There's also a plant report from Vassiliko Cement, to be visited by Global CemFuels' delegates as part of the main conference.
