For its project in Senegal, SOCOCIM Industries, a subsidiary of the VICAT Group, wanted to use the BEST TECHNOLOGIES AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS, notably in terms of alternative fuels use and energy efficiency.
The new line will integrate the latest Fives filtration and pyroprocess technologies, allowing: better quality finished products, maximum flexibility, optimal equipment efficiency and automated pyroprocess control.
Beyond technical performance, the pyroprocess systems will meet the customer’s high environmental requirements: low heat consumption, low level of dust and NOx emissions and extensive use of alternative fuels.
UP TO 70% OF THE FUEL MIX WILL COME FROM ALTERNATIVE FUELS (specifically biomass), while maintaining operational stability.
Guy SIDOS, Chairman and CEO of the Vicat Group
“The Vicat group is renewing its partnership with the Fives group through this major project to build a new line with a strong local dimension, employing local workers and contractors. This plant will eventually help eliminate the use of fossil fuels, reduce our energy consumption and support local development in Senegal to make a high-quality product, while doubling our production capacity. ”
