Full flowsheet know-how
We have in-depth expert knowledge across the full spectrum of sustainable cement production – from engineering and procurement to construction and operations and maintenance. This means you can tap into the experience we have gathered from cement plants all over the world.
In addition, we currently operate and maintain several large cement plants around the world. We apply the experience and data we gain from these plants to our product development programmes and our cement production processes.
World-class sustainability
Sustainability is core to our business model, guiding our strategy today and tomorrow. To us, sustainability involves optimising all aspects of cement production that impact the environment. This includes the consumption of water, fuel and energy as well as particulate and gaseous emissions.
We build cement plants with specific technologies that drastically reduce environmental footprint
- Milling and grinding systems deliver exceptional efficiency and reduced power consumption
- Pyro systems achieve lower energy consumption and gas emissions
- Air filters drastically reduced particulate emissions
- Process optimisation and automation systems help you achieve more efficient plant operations
Committed to safe plant operations
We have an unrelenting focus on excellence in safety. In our own organisation, our ambition is to achieve zero accidents. Everyone at FLSmidth participates in extensive safety training. We transfer this approach to all of our cement plant projects, helping you to apply the highest levels of safety to your operations.
We also aim to leave a positive mark on the local environment and society. This means more than just creating jobs. Our experience shows that the best performing plants are often those with a local workforce. We have comprehensive programmes for training local employees.
The digital future
Digitalization is high on our agenda. By closely monitoring every step in the production, we collect and analyse data to constantly optimise and improve performance. Learnings from one project benefit others and helps us enhance productivity at your plant
