| Fauji Cement Takes the Lead |
In pursuance of its commitment to produce cement under stringent environment friendly conditions, Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) has taken the lead by installing first ever Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Processing Plant at a cost of Rs. 320 Million. The Plant utilizes Municipal Solid Waste collected from the dumping sites established by Rawalpindi Cantt Board and Capital Development Authority in Islamabad. The garbage is converted into fuel for subsequent usage in the cement plant. The plant consists of screening equipment to remove clay, small dust particles, debris and metal etc, and the main plant to process and produce fuel which is then fed to the kiln through the dozing equipment.  Screening equipment separating clay, dust particles, debris and metal from the Municipal Solid Waste As a result of a detailed and comprehensive study by a German Firm, FCCL entered into a contract for importing machinery from a reputable firm in Europe for processing of Municipal Solid Waste. The Plant has a capacity of 12 tons per hour and replaces about 170 tons of coal per day as fuel. The Company plans to enhance this capacity to 36 tons per hour in future. This Project acts as a beacon to the entire industrial sector of the Country towards an environment friendly production. RDF not only provides economical fuel to the Company but also contributes heavily towards solving the problem of Municipal Garbage Disposal which at present is assuming alarming hazardous proportions in all metropolitan cities of the Country.
