Laboratories
Cement industry laboratories play a crucial role in ensuring that the product meets required standards (Libyan Standard Specification 97/340). From raw materials to finished products, samples are analysed at all stages of production. Typically, the laboratory section includes the following:
Chemical laboratory
To analyse chemical ratios, the chemical laboratory should be equipped with the necessary capabilities to conduct tests that cannot be performed with an X-ray machine. By comparing the X-ray machine's results with those obtained by the chemist, the laboratory verifies the accuracy of the X-ray machine.
Free Lime percentage
Lost by burning L.O.I.
Insoluble materials I.R.
X-ray machine
For quality control of mixtures used in furnaces and final products, the laboratory analyzes hourly and aggregate samples regularly. This is accomplished by closely monitoring coefficients and oxides, as well as analyzing raw material samples supplied to the factory.
Controlled Neutron Analyzer
By using gamma rays, the simultaneous analysis device (gamma rays) is able to analyze materials as they pass through the conveyor belt, from the main crusher basin to the raw materials store. Monitoring and analysis are conducted every two minutes to ensure continuous monitoring.
