Vietnam: Hoang Long Group has commissioned the 2.3Mt/yr Hoang Long Hoa Binh cement plant in Phu Tho province, according to Viet Nam News. The clinker production line has a capacity of 7200t/day. The plant was built with an investment of around US$196m and sits on a 35-hectare site, including a 30,000m² raw material storage area.
The facility is equipped with a six-stage, seven-level preheater tower and vertical roller mills for raw material and cement grinding. Hoang Long Group said that the plant will increase its total production capacity to around 8Mt/yr and support local economic development.
However, Vietnam’s cement sector continues to face a supply-demand imbalance, with total capacity exceeding 130Mt/yr compared to domestic consumption of 65 - 70Mt/yr, while export volumes of more than 30Mt/yr remain under pressure due to low prices and rising input costs.
