The new production facility, located in central Peru, will comprise two C4 Maerz lime kilns with a combined capacity of 1’000 t/d of quicklime. The Maerz C4 lime kilns will be equipped with advanced technology, such as highly efficient and energy saving high-pressure fans as well as airtight stone charging and lime discharging systems to be ready for a possible future CO₂-capture.
This joint effort by UNACEM and CALIDRA underlines their commitment to energy efficient and sustainable lime production, with Maerz technology playing a central role in achieving these goals.
