China is building the two cement clinker production lines in Zibo city, in the eastern province of Shandong, each with a daily capacity of 5,000 tons, making the plant the largest of its kind in the country.

In cement production, raw materials are first burned in kilns to become clinkers, which are then ground into powder, the final product.

Partly supported by state bonds, the plant will cost a total 500 million yuan (60 million US dollars), and will be constructed in two phases, according to government sources.

The first line is expected to be completed and go into operation in October 2003, with an estimated output value of 400 million yuan (48 million US dollars) per year, experts said.

The completion of the lines is expected to end pollution produced by many small local cement mills.
