13 Certificate of Merit Cement (Grinding Unit) ACC LIMITED, THONDEBHAVI CEMENT WORKS Chikkaballapur (Karnataka) Unit Profile Thondebhavi Cement Works was set up as a Green Field Project in about 120 acres of land, in the lush green village of Thondebhavi in Karnataka. This cement grinding plant was commissioned in the month of December 2009; it is the most modern plant with state of art technology with a capacity of 1.66 million tons of Pozzolona Portland Cement. Major raw material for the production of Pozzolona Portland Cement (PPC) is clinker which is supplied from the ACC s modern plant in Karnataka situated at Wadi in the Gulbarga District. For the production of clinker Wadi cement works is burning alternate fuels like Paint sludge, ETP sludge, waste chemicals etc. By using these fuels ACC is saving natural fossil fuels like coal & there by reducing CO 2 emissions. This clinker is transported by rail, thus saving on logistics and associated CO 2 emissions. 51
