The expansionand modernization project replaced outdated technology at the 111 year oldcement facility. That included building a new kiln line which will reduceemissions of dust, sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. The other upgrade was the “zero water project” which will recycle the water used forcooling through a chiller and recycle it back thereby eliminated any water
