Cairo, Egypt: Arabian Cement Company (ACC), a leading cement producer in Egypt, is undertaking a transformative environmental initiative with the conversion of the Electrostatic Precipitators (Main ESPs) to a cutting-edge Bag Filters for dust emission control on both of the two production lines. ACC prepared EIA study and submitted it to EEAA, and got the environmental approval to execute the conversion project on two phases, the first phase to convert the ESP of Line 1, and the second phase will be on Line 2. This strategic move aims to ensure proactive compliance with current and future local and international dust emission regulations.
