| Siemens to supply automation system for cement factory near Dublin  The Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) will equip the Platin cement factory of Irish Cement Limited with an automation system worth around two million euros. The project includes complete automation of a new kiln line (Kiln 3). The work involved in equipping line 3 is scheduled for completion in summer 2008. Line 2 is to follow around seven months later. With a capacity in excess of three million metric tons at two locations, Irish Cement Limited (ICL) is the largest cement producer in Ireland. The company is part of the Irish company CRH, a construction and building-materials group with offices in 27 countries. At the Platin location in Drogheda, which is around 50 kilometers to the north of Dublin, ICL is building a new kiln line and is modernizing existing installations. The new plant will help make Ireland self-sufficient in cement production and will insure security of supply of cement for the construction industry into the future both north and south of the border.write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
