Ndola Lime Starts $80m Recapitalisation Project

Published On: Sat, Apr 21st, 2012 Local News |

NDOLA Lime Limited has commenced its recapitalisation project at a cost of more than US$80 million that will see the company double its quick lime production from 170,000 tonnes to excesses of 300,000 tonnes.

The company has also shut down a lime producing plant for one month, the vertical kiln to facilitate for annual maintenance works.

The firm would install a new dust abatement machine which would be commissioned in July this year to cut down on the levels of dust pollution which had raised complaints from the general public.

Company public relations manager Mukamungalu Meleki said during a media tour yesterday that the company was modernising the plant due to the huge demand of lime products by local mining firms.

Other customers are from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in the southern African region.

Ms Meleki said the new components which were currently under construction were a new state-of-the-art vertical kiln which processes quick lime, a fully automated hydration plant for the production of hydrated lime and a substation.

She said the dual fired kiln would run on both Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) and coal to produce 500 tonnes of quicklime per day.

“Our company will install a new production line, consisting of a new crushing and screening plant complete with associated conveyors, blending plant, 500 tonnes per day (TPD) state-of-the-art vertical kiln, coal storage and pulverising plant, 15 TPH hydrating plant,” she said.

“Others are a packing plant, weigh bridges and a new 33/11KV substation and interconnecting substations and all support infrastructure,” she said.

Ms Meleki said the company would also refurbish its existing vertical and rotary kilns so that the three plants would all be used in the production of lime.
