Background
The Gubbio plant was the first cement plant constructed by Cementerie Aldo Barbetti SpA. Between 1963 and 1964, the plant expanded its capacity by adding two additional vertical furnaces, bringing the total to three. In 1971, a Humboldt furnace equipped with an ELEX precipitator was installed, achieving a 95% reduction in particulate emissions. Further modernization occurred in 1984 with the commissioning of a Smidth-type furnace, featuring an electrostatic precipitator and conditioning tower, which enhanced filtration efficiency to 99.9%. In 2002, Leveraging its partnership with F.L. Smidth, a leading technology provider in the cement sector, the company undertook a modernization project aimed at increasing production capacity, improving product quality, and reducing emissions.
