• SECOND SOLID-FUEL FIRING INSTALLATION IN KOSOVO

Beralmar has just booked a new order for a solid-fuel firing installation in Kosovo. The installation is for the new BOKSH KOSOVA factory in Klinë, in the western part of the Balkan country, which has opted for a PROMATIC installation to provide most of the energy needed for a planned production of 400 tonnes/day of blocks.

The fuel used is petroleum coke, which is dried and ground by the PROMATIC system itself.

This will be the 14th solid-fuel firing kiln in the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
