Turkey: Batısöke Söke Çimento Sanayi T.A.Ş., part of the Bati Anadolu Group, has awarded KHD Humboldt Wedag a contract for engineering and delivery of equipment to increase its cement grinding capacity at its cement plant in western Turkey. The contract to install a new COMFLEX^® grinding system will increase the capacity of cement grinding unit no 5, from 59t/hr to 195t/hr at 3300 Blaine and save more than 12kWh/t energy.

KHD´s scope includes the engineering and delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment, as well as advisory services during erection and commissioning for the new COMFLEX SC16-3250. This will be KHD's third COMFLEX grinding unit in Turkey after Denizli and Kahramanmaras Cimento.

The core equipment to be designed and delivered by KHD include: a clinker grinding system (COMFLEX^® SC16-3250); a roller press RPS 16-170/180 with ROLCOX^® system for control and monitoring; a V-separator, type VS 524, as static classifier; a high efficiency separator SEPMASTER, type SKS-VC 3250 as dynamic classifier; and a system fan HKF 200/265.

The commissioning of the new COMFLEX^® system, in combination with the existing ball mill system, is planned for the end of 2014.

Germany: AVIC International Beijing Company (AVIC) has lead an offer to buy KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG in a deal worth US$433m. It hopes to acquire all of the remaining KHD shares by way of a voluntary public takeover offer.

At the same time it has entered into share purchase agreements with numerous sellers to purchase 19.03% of shares in the German cement plant builder. Through its subsidiary, Max Glory Industries, AVIC already owns 20% of KHD, which will bring its total to 39.03%.

"This is a long-term investment for us. A more stable shareholder base will benefit KHD's worldwide employees, customers, suppliers and financing partners and KHD will continue providing environmental friendly and state-of-the-arts products and services," said Mr Diao, president of AVIC Beijing Company.

Turkey: Limak has ordered a new 3500t/day clinker production line from KHD for its Trakya cement plant. Cement plant equipment manufacturer KHD has been contracted to deliver the equipment, supervise the construction and commission the project, including on-site training. The new kiln line will be erected near an existing 1850t/day line, which will also be upgraded by KHD in the beginning of 2014.

Core components of the new KHD line include: a four-stage KHD Preheater with PYROCLON®-R Low NO_X calciner, equipped with PYROTOP® compact mixing chamber, tertiary air duct with dust settling chamber, and PYROBOX calciner firing system for coal dust; a PYRORAPID® two-tire rotary kiln, with a diameter of 4.4m; PYRO-JET® kiln burner for coal and fuel oil; PYROFLOOR® clinker cooler equipped with a PYROCRUSHER® System.

The new calciner with PYROCLON®R will be KHD's first Low-NO_X calciner in Turkey. Trakya will be the second PYROFLOOR® system Limak has installed at one of its plants. Commissioning of the new kiln at Trakaya is scheduled for the autumn of 2014.

India: McNally Bharat Engineering Company Ltd (MBEL), a Williamson Magor group company, has booked an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth US$133.5m from ACC Ltd to set up a 9000t/day (~2.9Mt/yr) brownfield cement facility at its existing plant at Jamul, Chhattisgarh. The deal was announced by Deepak Khaitan, chairman of MBEL, at a press conference in the city on 17 December 2012. The plant will be set up with technology from Germany's KHD Humboldt Wedag.

"This order is a major milestone for us as it flags off MBEL's entry into the cement plant construction business," said Khaitan. "This will open up opportunities for MBEL as an EPC contractor for the Indian cement industry."

The company has also opened offices in South Africa to carry out engineering contracts in Africa. "Our emphasis will be to expand our footprint globally," said Khaitan.

Germany: Italcementi has awarded KHD a contract to upgrade and redevelop its Brescia Rezzato plant in Italy. The upgraded plant, situated in the environmentally sensitive Lake Garda region, will have to adhere to strict environmental requirements.

Italcementi has selected KHD's Clean Technology for the upgrade. It includes a KHD COMFLEX^® SC 18 – 3250 system for raw material grinding, a Two-Pier PYRORAPID^® Kiln 3000t/day 4.4m x 52m, a PFC PYRFLOOR^® clinker cooler 635 AW and a Low NO_X 5 stage Preheater 7950 PR.

KHD will also supply additional environmental equipment including selective catalytic reduction systems, a gas conditioning tower, selective non catalytic reduction systems, as well as special filter systems to reduce SO_X. KHD will install much of the equipment whilst the existing kiln continues to operate.

The Rezzato plant, built in 1964, was designed by former Italcementi chairman Giampiero Pesenti, father of current Italcementi CEO Carlo Pesenti, during his tenure as an engineer. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2014, in time for Italcementi's 150th anniversary.

Russia: The leading Russian cement producer Eurocement has placed an order worth more than Euro80m with KHD for a new cement plant to be built in Stavropol, Russia.

The contract between Stavropolsky Zavod Stroitelnih Materialov, a member of the Eurocement Group, and ZAB Zementanlagenbau GmbH Dessau, a subsidiary of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG, is for a new cement plant with an annual output of 1.3Mt/yr.

KHD's scope will cover the supply of production equipment, starting from raw material crushing all the way up to cement loading and packing. KHD will also supply automation and control equipment for the new production line. In addition, the companies concluded a separate contract for erection and commissioning supervision services, which is part of the total order volume.

The project will be booked as order intake immediately upon receipt of a down payment.

Brazil: KHD Humboldt Wedag International has announced that its subsidiary Humboldt Wedag Inc has received a major order from Brazilian cement firm Cimentos Liz SA.

KHD Humboldt Wedag will supply the Brazilian company with equipment as well as engineering and consulting services on site. It will also provide services for the commissioning of Liz's new facility, which will have a capacity of 5000t/day. The value of the total order is expected to be in the region of USD120m.

Turkey: Kahramanmaras Cimento Beton Sanayii Ve Madencilik Isletmeleri (KCS) has awarded KHD Humboldt Wedag the contract to supply equipment for its second cement production line with a capacity of 4500t/day clinker near the city of Kahramanmaras in southeastern Turkey. Commissioning of both the new kiln line and the clinker grinding system is planned for the end of 2012.

Signing with KHD Humboldt Wedag for delivering clinker production line I in May 2006 allowed KIPAS Holding to enter the cement industry via the subsidiary to meet the requirements for entering the Turkish cement industry as a producer. The scope of KHD´s delivery and services includes the engineering and delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment as well as advisory supervision of erection and commissioning (including training) for the new kiln line and for the clinker grinding system. Its capacity will increase from 100t/hr to 200t/hr at a fineness of 3600cm²/g.

For its second line, KCS has chosen to install a KHD combustion chamber, with which coarse secondary fuels and/or secondary fuels associated with difficult ignition and combustion can be used. The new technology should lower the quality requirements for the alternative fuels as well as preparation requirements. This will be the second KHD combustion chamber in Turkey, following the first installation in a cement plant near Ankara. The increase in clinker capacity with the new kiln line accompanied a decision by KCS to increase the output of the existing cement mill, a ball mill of Chinese design with a throughput capacity of 100t/hr CEM I 42.5.
