Reduce nuisance Konya oven No. 2 electrostatic precipitator transformed into a bag filter The significant investment effort made by the Group in recent years with the installation of bag filters in several factories is bearing fruit, placing the Group among the most efficient in the profession in the field. Pollutant emissions are measured regularly and action plans are carried out to enable their reduction. In addition, in addition to emissions from cement works chimneys, efforts are being made to control diffuse dust emissions. For example, in Senegal, bag filters were installed in the Rufisque cement plant, several transporters were started up to avoid material handling and a fully dusted clinker storage hall was built. The Group is also making every effort to reduce noise emissions, particularly in the Grave-de-Peille and Voreppe plants, but also in the recirculation of cooling networks, stormwater collection and firefighting in thunderstorm basins before controlled release into the natural environment. In 2007, a 2 km long conveyor belt was built between the Enieu quarry and the Montalieu plant to transport the crushed marl. This installation made it possible to reduce noise pollution and limit truck traffic. SHARE PRICE more details GROUP SITES ACCESSIBILITY LEGAL NOTICE DOWNLOAD CONTACT SITEMAP
