Lucky Cement Limited has inaugurated its fifth Waste Heat Recovery unit in Pezu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Under this project, two cement production lines with a daily output of 2,400 tonnes were used, which will offer an installed power of 10 megawatts. The inauguration ceremony was attended by CEO Lucky Cement Limited Muhammad Ali Tabba and other senior management of Lucky Cement.
Previously, Lucky Cement had four Waste Heat Recovery Plants, two in Pezu and two at the Karachi Plant. The fifth plant became operational in collaboration with Sinoma Energy Conservation Ltd, China.
The design of WHR plants hinges on the idea of encapsulating all the wasted heat from the production system and using this heat to generate steam from boilers, which eventually run the turbine engines, thus producing electricity.
Speaking on the occasion, Muhammad Ali Tabba said, “We, being one of the leading cement manufacturers in Pakistan, have the responsibility to reduce energy consumption and improve the environment. With the launch of our fifth WHR plant, we aim to do just that.”
He added that “Our WHR plant has not only significantly reduced cost by co-generating electricity, it also helps lower dust emissions and environmental effluents, thus having a positive impact on the atmosphere.”
The sustainable development forms a significant part in Lucky Cement’s business strategies and is one of the key factors that have led the company towards progress and growth. Lucky Cement continues to bring sustainability in the construction industry. Earlier this year, Lucky Cement received the 6th CSR Award for its Waste Management & Recycling policies at the 9th Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Summit, organised by National Forum for Environment and Health. The company also won another award for its Stakeholder and Employee Engagement efforts at the 6th CSR Summit and Awards ceremony, organised by The Professionals Network.
