COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- KHD Humboldt Wedag
International AG, ("KHD") (Frankfurt Stock Exchange symbol:
KWG), (OTC Pinksheets: KHDHF.PK) announced today that
KHD Humboldt Wedag Inc., a subsidiary of KHD has received an order
from Cimentos Liz S.A. in Brazil
for the equipment supply, engineering and site advisory and
commissioning services, for a new 5,000 t/d production line. The
contract is split into two phases. The first 90 day engineering
phase is already in force. During this period the customer has an
option to withdraw from the contract. If this option is not
exercised the contract, when fully in force, will have a total
value for KHD of over USD $120
million, otherwise KHD will be paid for all services
rendered during phase one. With the completion of this project
which is located in Lagoa Santa-Vespasiano, Brazil, the plant will be the largest single
cement plant in Brazil and one of
the largest in South America.
KHD's scope of supply includes auxiliary equipment, electrical
power system components and instrumentation, as well as core KHD
components, including:
- COMFLEX® raw grinding system incorporating a KHD RPS18 Roller
Press, with V and SKS® Separators which when combined make this
system the most energy efficient raw grinding system available
today.
- 5-stage Humboldt preheater with PYROCLON® calciner, equipped
with a PYROTOP® compact mixing chamber, tertiary air duct and KHD
COMBUSTION CHAMBER for firing alternative fuels
- PYRORAPID® 5.0 m x 69.0 m two-tire rotary kiln
- PYRO-JET® LowNox kiln burner and KHD Combustion Chamber burner
both designed for a variety of fuels.
- Clinker cooler equipped with a PYROCRUSHER® roller type clinker
crusher.
- KHD Ball Mill system for grinding of solid fuels designed with
the same size gear drive as for the COMFLEX® raw and finish
grinding systems.
- COMFLEX® finish grinding system incorporating dual KHD RPS18
Roller Presses with V and SKS® Separators which when combined, just
like for the raw grinding system, make this the most energy
efficient finish grinding system available today. Both raw and
finish grinding systems will share the same size drives and the
same grinding rollers for reduced spare parts inventory.
Portions of the fabrication for this line will be locally
supplied in Brazil. Utilizing KHD
alternative fuel technologies, the plant will be able to burn up to
25% waste fuels in the combustion chamber and up to 10% old tires
in the kiln. The plant will also incorporate the latest of KHD's
environmentally friendly technology for reduction of gaseous and
dust emissions.
