'Best Abba Production in The World' WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13 - 8pm TICKETS $35.00 AVAILABLE AT THE OAKVILLE CENTRE FOR PERFORMING ARTS St. Lawrence Cement employees celebrate environmental awards Em ployees o f St. Law rence in Mississauga, just across the Oakville border, recently celebrated the com pa ny's recent environmental awards in the cement industry. In M arch 2003. the plant won Portland Cem ent A ssociation Environmental Performance Awards for Environmental Performance and Energy Efficiency. The plant was also runner up for the Com m unity Outreach and Innovation categories. In addition, based on its performance in all categories, the Mississauga plant won the award for Overall Environmental Excellence. The 200 plant em ployees recently cel ebrated the awards with a barbecue and flag raising. The annual North American Cement Industry Environmental Awards recog nize the efforts o f cement producers' innovative practices, programs and proj ects throughout North America. The aw ards are co-sponsored by the the Portland Cement Association (PC'A). the Cement Association of Canada (CAC) and the Cement Americas Magazine. Large gains in energy efficiency were obtained by the Mississauga plant w hen it shifted production from wet manufac turing process to dry process kilns. Between 1991 and 1998. St. Lawrence invested more than $16 million in major projects to phase out the wet kilns and increase the capacity o f the precalciner/preheater kiln. Between 1990 and 2002, the average specific thermal ener gy consumption of clinker production was reduced by 149c, from 4.2 GJ/mt (1990 level) to 3.6 GJ/metric ton. Substituting clinker and cement with less energy intensive mineral components such as granulated blast furnace slag, sil ica fume, and other pozzolanic materials allows the plant to maintain output while reducing its specific C 0 2 emissions. In 2(X)2. the plant introduced the high silica fume cement. The use o f silica fume replaces a portion o f the clinker in the cement, thus reducing the energy input of the final product. The Mississauga plant has adopted the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Greenhouse Gas Protocol for monitoring and reporting C 0 2 emis sions from cement manufacturing. The plant reduced its Specific Net C 0 2 emis sions to 639 kg C 0 2 /m t o f cementitious product. This is a 21.5% reduction from 1990 and a 1.1 % reduction from 2 0 0 1. Phillipe Arto. President and CEO of St. Lawrence Cement, congratulated the employees for their achievement. "These awards symbolize our com mitment to sustainable development. It is rewarding to be recognized by our indus try peers and we are proud of these envi ronmental successes," said Arto. Among other notable achievements, the Mississauga plant's Environmental management system was registered to ISO 14001 in February 2002. becoming the first cement plant in Canada to obtain this certification. St. Lawrence Cement Group is a lead ing producer and supplier o f products and services for the construction indus try, namely cement, concrete, aggregates and construction. The company operates in Canada and on the eastern seaboard of the United States, and employs a total of 2.800 people. 130 Navy Street, Oakville, Box Office 905-815-2021 TABRICLAffl) LAST CALL! on selected SPRING & SUMMER CLEARANCE Province funds biotech initiative OFF FABRICLAND'S ORIGINAL PRICES Sale in effect on selected in-stock seasonal merchandise from Jul.23-Aug.10/03, while quantities last Not valid with any other discount offers.
