In order to prevent dust emissions resulting from raw materials and production processes in the factory, all material transfer lines are designed as closed galleries and dust exit to the environment is prevented by using bag filters on the line. In addition, a closed clinker stock hall with a capacity of 100 thousand tons has been built and activities are carried out in the open area without clinker stockpiling. The rotary kiln operates with low NOx emission and low specific heat consumption, at a calcination degree of 95 percent with preheater towers and high combustion efficiency. The factory, which makes environmentally friendly production with low greenhouse gas emission, has a serious advantage in terms of cost optimization with low energy consumption. With the energy saving projects made after the commissioning of the factory, specific electrical energy consumption was reduced to 75 kWh / ton.
Limak Anka Cement Factory, which started its production with the target of “zero accident”, provided 16 hours of training per person in 2019. In order to be prepared and trained for unexpected situations, emergency drills and environmental practices were carried out with the support of AFAD throughout the year.
