Beralmar commissions second Micromatic installation in Hungary
Recently, Beralmar successfully commissioned the second Micromatic installation in Hungary, namely at the Pápateszéri Téglaipari ceramic plant in Pápateszér, midway between Budapest and Vienna or Bratislava. This facility was dimensioned for the production of up to 250 t/day with natural gas pre-heating. In Hungary, petroleum coke specially prepared for the ceramic industry and supplied by tanker has been available since last year. This fuel has the following characteristics:
> Calorific value: 8 400 kcal/kg
> Moisture: < 1 %
> Particle size: < 100 µm
> Ash: < 1 %
With the current fuel prices in Hungary, the replacement of a significant portion of natural gas with this fuel makes a considerable contribution to cost savings.
