27/05/2021

Siberian Cement continues to implement projects aimed at improving the level of environmental safety of production facilities. Last year, the company allocated 452 million rubles to solve these problems. In 2021, according to preliminary calculations, the same figure will reach 554 million rubles.

Programs to reduce the impact on the environment are in effect at all enterprises of the holding.

For example, the Topkinsky plant is currently completing the re-equipment of the rotary kiln No. 1 with a total cost of about 363 million rubles. By installing a powerful electric filter on the unit, the company will ensure the stable functioning of the furnace gas cleaning system, and minimize the amount of dust entering the atmosphere.

"The impact on nature is also reduced by other plants of the company. Since the foundation of Siberian Cement, created in 2004, and until 2020, over 1.8 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes," comments Sergey Sheptalin, Executive Vice President of Sibcem HC JSC. - Not only environmental projects have a positive effect. All measures of the large-scale program of technical re-equipment of production facilities "work" to increase the level of their environmental safety. They allow you to increase the productivity of equipment, use resources more efficiently, and reduce the number of sources of emissions. In other words, each modernization project solves a set of tasks and necessarily has an environmental component."
