Thermal Treatment for Cement Plants Is Site Specific
The organic level in the limestone used in the cement industry varies from plant
to plant. Holcim has high levels at its Texas plant and is considering an
RTO. McIlvaine conducted a webinar
on the Cement MACT where Tri-Mer indicated that the catalytic filter will remove
the organics along with the acid gases, NOx and particulate.
McIlvaine tracks the cement and
industrial air opportunities in Industrial
Emitters. For more information,

Mexico
Mexico’s gross domestic product fell less-than-expected in the last quarter,
according to official data.
Mexican GDP 1.6% vs. 1.5% forecast. In a report, Insituto Nacional de
Estadistica Y Geografia said that Mexican GDP fell to a seasonally adjusted
1.6%, from 1.8% in the preceding quarter. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)

India
Reserve Bank of India has projected around 5.5% GDP growth for 2014-15 after two
painful years of sub-5% growth, as the new government focuses on fiscal
consolidation and is taking steps to clear stalled industrial and construction
projects to shake up a stagnating economy.
This is in line with the projections made at the start of 2014-15 and RBI is now
looking at the prospect of a sustainable 7% growth in the medium term if the
government takes the reforms process forward in the areas of industry, services,
international trade, labor markets, public sector management and financial
markets.
"The Indian economy stands at crossroads that could take it from a slow bumpy
lane to a faster highway," RBI said in its annual report for 2013-14. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Israel
War is supposed to be “good” for the economy, according to some experts, by
boosting government spending — but that hasn’t happened in Israel’s conflict
with Hamas in Gaza. The travel industry is in a shambles, tourism’s summer high
season is ruined, and much-needed work isn’t getting done because 50,000 reserve
soldiers, most of them members of the workforce, are otherwise occupied on the
front lines. This is in addition to the expense of the war itself.
It was inevitable that the war would have an impact on the economy, according to
Psagot Investment House. In its report, the group put the cost of the war at a
quarter of a percent of what had been an expected 2.9% growth in GDP for 2014.
Taking into account the losses to business, the expenses the government is
facing, and the cost of repairing the economic damage, the report bumps down the
expected growth rate for Israel for the year to 2.4% – taking into account the
possibility that the war will last for another week and a half. If it goes
longer, Psagot said, it may have to revise its figures again.
Even so, Psagot predicted the losses would be temporary.
The group made its assessment on the basis of another “summer war” — the Second
Lebanon War, which took place during July and August of 2006. The war also hurt
tourism and required extensive resources to repair buildings that were damaged
by Hezbollah rockets. Iron Dome, which has spared lives and property this time
by intercepting incoming rockets, had not been invented yet. While far fewer
buildings have been damaged in the current war, Psagot said, that “gain” is
wiped out by the fact that life in many more cities in the center of the country
are being affected in many ways by Hamas rockets. Hezbollah was unable to reach
farther south than Hadera, while Hamas rockets have hit Tel Aviv and well to the
north. . (The remaining text is not
