April 2014
The April issue kicks off with a keynote article by AJ Jorgenson of The Manufacturing Institute, who outlines various steps that can be taken to tackle the skills gap in the US. Training initiatives in light of current cement plant needs are also discussed later in the issue by the VDZ and Cement Performance International Ltd. We turn to North America in this month’s regional report, as Lafarge outlines modernisation plans for the Ravena plant and 3L&T Inc. present’s a corrosion protection case study at Cemex Odessa. Environmental compliance and innovation, materials handling, coolers, lubrication and additives are among the other topics covered this month. The issue also features a tour of HeidelbergCement’s Norcem Brevik plant in Norway, including an introduction to the carbon capture test projects being carried out by the plant and its partners.
