Introduction
Over the past 15 years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
has experienced one of the largest construction booms
in history. As a result, the demand for building materials
has skyrocketed – and to keep supply levels up, cement
plants had to import large quantities of clinker. But
always a step ahead, Star Cement, one of the leading
cement manufacturers in the Middle East, decided
to build its own clinker plant. The UAE has strict
requirements on fugitive dust emissions, so Star Cement
asked the Air Pollution Control unit of FLSmidth to take
part in the bidding process for the fabric filter system.
Henrik Vittrup P edersen,
FLSmidth’s Global Fabric
Filter M anager, reports on
how the company has helped
keep dust emissions down at
the Star Cement plant in Ras
Al-Khaimah.
