Low Capital
-
Due to the lower calcination energy requirements, LC3 is more economical to produce than OPC for similar performance.
-
Locations with a shortage of high-quality fly ash, low limestone quality or excess reserves of waste limestone, LC3 is more economical to produce than PPC.
-
Due to its lower clinker content and lower capital investment required for calcination of clays, LC3 allows higher returns on capital investments.
-
Clay and limestone which are otherwise discarded by cement plants can be utilized in LC3 which leads to low raw material cost.
