M/s. Maihar Cement & M/s. Shree Cement – both have
used our Calcium Silicate Insulation (CSI) - has been awarded
subject awards at the International Seminar & Exhibition on
Energy & Environment in Cement Production and Sustainable
Construction organized by M/s. NCCBM at Delhi on 28-31.1.2002.
M/s. Maihar Cement, Unit No. 2 has reported electrical energy
consumption of 79 KWH/ton of cement and 153 kg. coal per ton of
clinker for 13.50 lacs tons cement production during the year
2000-2001 (page: 87-90)1.
M/s. Shree Cement has reported excellent improvement &
performance - Energy Conservation Management Review – (page:
78-81) 1.
A cement plant manufacturing 1 million
tons of cement consumes about 0.18 million tons of steam coal
per year. By using CSI - about 265 tons value Rs.1.2 crore - it
is possible to save 27,000 tons of steam coal value approximate
Rs. 7 crores per year.
The comparative thermal & electrical energy consumption in
cement plants are:

We can help you cut your energy cost by calculating heat losses
and surface temperature data for CSI using NAIMA, U.S.A.’s 3E
plus program. Please send details of your thermal equipments to
enable us to suggest how CSI can effectively help conserve
expensive thermal (heat) energy.
