Russia: MMK subsidiary Magnitogorsk Cement and Refractory Plant has completed reconstruction of slag drying drum furnaces at its plant in Chelyabinsk Oblast. The furnaces feature recirculating burners to prevent the formation of NOx and reduce the energy consumption of slag drying by 10%, according to the company. AK&M News has reported that the producer is now installing an automated emissions control system at the plant.
Plant director Yuri Kochubeev said "It is fundamentally important for us to ensure the plant's efficiency increases, while strictly adhering to high environmental standards."
