Our share is about 50:50 for expansion and replacement requirements.

Various feasible dry beneficiation techniques and alternate cement production by using low grade high silica limestone are discussed in this article.

Major consumer of refractories are iron and steel, cement, glass, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals and hydrocarbons. Growth of the Indian refractory market is directly linked to the growth in these segments.

Today's blended cements have its origin in the old Roman construction. Due to technological advancements [now] the similar cements are available in the new forms.

Blended cements are cements produced by inter-grinding clinker along with mineral components (MiC) such as fly-ash or slag, both of which are industrial by-products or industrial waste.

This technology has matured over the years. The lab automation suppliers are moving their data over to cloud and perform analytics on the quality data by relating it to process data (such data can be opened up for end-users of our product).

Quality control equipment of cement industry, which was automated over the years, is turning towards robotics, of late. In the early days, sample collection and transfer it to testing laboratory and adjusting the controls based on the laboratory results were being done manually.

Yes, we are the users of lab automation for quality control of Emami Double Bull Cement. Analysis of raw materials and cement and its control are the most important and integral process for us.

As government spending on housing and infrastructure gains pace in India, the world's second-largest cement market is set to accelerate and the country's low cement intensity offers the industry huge headroom for growth.
