Goals For Future Products
Kuwait Cement Company supplies different types of cement to Citizens,
Industrial/Contracting companies and Government projects according
to their needs. With the present substantial production capacity,
the company is fully capable to meet all the future demands of cement
required in the local markets. Sufficient reserves of raw material
is stock-piled to meet any eventualities. 
The latest technology and expertise are applied in modernizing the
existing gray cement mills, packing and bulk loading plants, with
the aim of ensuring qualitative products and reducing cost of production.
The company is in the process of relocating one of its existing gray
mills and converting it into 19 tons/hr White cement mill. The goal
of this project is to raise the existing production capacity of White
cement to about 190,000 tons per year in order to meet additional
future demands.
Out of the 4 Sales Centers destroyed during Iraqi
invasion, 2 are already re-opened at Sabhan,
which currently belongs to Shuwaikh Cement Company, and
Amghara with the goal of helping the citizens to acquire
their needs of cement from areas close to their
construction site.
Environmental Protection Policies
Dedusting Filters
Our plant for gray cement was equipped with efficient
mechanical filters system which was capable to dedust cement
from more than 100,000 m3 of air/hr.
To meet international trends for further restriction of dust
pollution, a new filter system was adopted, using the latest
technology in that field limiting dust pollution in our plant
beyond 50 milligram/m3 which meets the international
standard in this respect. So, jet gas filters replaced the
mechanical filters since 1989 while the mills continued with
the efficient electrostatic filters. Jet Bag filters are fully
automatic with 2 stage injector cleaning system by means of
compressed air impulses.
