Last spring, SBFS teams were mobilized to take part in a major project for cement manufacturer CALCIA. The cement plant, located at Airvault in the Deux-S\u00e8vres region of France, is planning to renew 80% of its equipment and will be equipped with a new production unit enabling it to double its daily production while reducing its carbon footprint by 27% compared with the current situation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The Airvault 2025 project is an ambitious one, given that the cement industry, the mainstay of our business, accounts for 7% of CO2 emissions worldwide, and that the current cement plant is 103 years old for the most outdated equipment.<\/p>\n To achieve this, CALCIA plans to replace these two semi-dry firing lines with a new dry firing line with precalciner capable of processing up to 4000T\/day of material. In addition to reducing the proportion of clinker in cement, the production of which emits greenhouse gases, this new process will also cut water consumption by 16% and electricity requirements by 10%.<\/p>\n<\/div>Ecological progress<\/h2><\/div>
