I. A Survey of the Project i. Category: expansion project; building material industry. ii. Construction content: to construct a 5,000 tons/day of cement clinker production line. iii. Construction conditions: the limestone needed by the project is from Hongtaoshan Mountain, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, where the reserves of limestone reach 168.06 million tons. With high content of calcium and low content of alkali, the limestone is really quality raw material for dry process cement, all of which can be used in producing low-alkali cement. In addition, other resources like coal and electricity are also rich. iv. Construction condition: located at the foot of Hongtaoshan Mountain, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. v. Production techniques: to adopt the most advanced 5-level low pressure loss off-kiln decomposition process in the production of cement of China and use mainly domestic equipment on the premise of stable production. vi. Construction period: 18 months. vii. Investment budgetary estimate: 430 million Yuan. viii. Economic benefits prediction: annual output: 1.5 million tons of cement clinker; sales income: 285 million Yuan; tax: 39 million Yuan; after-tax profits: 30 million Yuan.
