# Mini Cement Plant Project Report
## 1. Introduction
A mini cement plant is a small-scale cement production facility with a capacity ranging from 50 to 200 tonnes per day (TPD). These plants are cost-effective, require less investment, and are ideal for rural and semi-urban areas. This report provides a detailed analysis of setting up a mini cement plant, including market potential, technical requirements, financial aspects, and regulatory compliance.

## 3. Technical Details & Manufacturing Process
A) Raw Materials Required:
1. Limestone (main raw material)
2. Clay/Shale (for silica & alumina)
3. Gypsum (for setting time control)
4. Coal/Pet coke (fuel for kiln)
5. Iron ore/Bauxite (for iron & aluminum oxides)
B) Production Process:
1. Crushing & Grinding: Limestone and clay are crushed into fine powder.
2. Mixing & Blending: Raw materials are mixed in correct proportions.
3. Preheating & Calcination: Heated in a rotary kiln (~1450°C) to form clinker.
4. Cooling & Grinding: Clinker is cooled and ground with gypsum to form cement.
