Test-run for state-of-the-art cement plant underway

A major cement plant with a daily capacity of 2,500 tonnes of clinker was put into operation in the northern province of Phu Tho on September 24.

The Song Thao Cement Plant is scheduled to roll out its first batch of product after one week of test-runs. The inauguration ceremony is to take place on October 8.

It is one of the most advanced of its kind in Vietnam in terms of automation and the first success of the country’s engineering, procurement and construction model by a domestic contractor in cement plant construction.

The project was built at a cost of over 1.67 trillion VND by the Song Thao Cement Joint-stock Company under the Housing and Urban Investment and Development Corporation (HUD), which is also the project’s investor.
