The Rustavi Cement Plant, probably built since 1950, * is
situated on the southeast edge of the Rustavi industrial complex
(see orientation map and map of Rustavi, USSR ). It occupies an
area approximately 3, 000 by 1,1000 feet and is completely en-
closed with a high wall. The plant uses the wet process in the
manufacture of cement.
The following is a description of the probable flow of mater-
ials through the plant (numbers in parentheses refer to location
numbers on the accompanying flow chart).
Crushed material is brought in by railroad cars and stored
in. six large silos which are adjacent to a grinding and mixing build-
ing (1) located southeast of a tall stack (3)
In this building the material is pulverized and mixed with
water, forming slurry. This sludge-like material is carried to
two tanks (2) west of the mixing building where the slurry is mixed
and stored. Water for this operation is provided by a probable water-
treatment building and two underground water-storage tanks (15)
located nearby. From the slurry tanks the mixture moves to the
filter building (4), where it is partially dried and fed into two rotary
kilns (5). Heat for the kilns is supplied by coal which moves from
open storage (13), probably by overhead crane (16), to a coal pul-
verizing and drying building (14) before being fed to the kilns, In
the kilns the partially dried slurry is changed to clinker, which

moves into the clinker coolers (6) and then into a clinker storage
building (7) at the northeast and of the coolers. From the storage
building the clinker is seat to a grinder building (8) where it is
mixed with other material and pulverized to bocome cement. This
cement is then moved by conveyor (9) into a packing and shipping
warehouse (10) or to storage in one of 14 cement eilas (11). A
conveyor extends from the packing and shipping warehouse to a
small building (12) served by a drive-through road where the cement
is probably loaded on the trucks,
The following additional facilities are visible on the west side
of the plant: one administration building(17), one large warehouse
(18), and one smaller warehouse (18) with possible air vents pro-
trading along the center of the rag. On the east side of the plant
there is one large apex storage area (19) with numerous crates ad-
jacent to a small warehouse (18). Along the north wall there is one
large warehouse (18) nand a possible POL storage tank (20). All
buildings within the plant area are covered with white dust.
Rail service is provided by two spur line
One eaters from
the east and serves all major plant facilities. The ether eaters from
the north, continues along the north wall, and exits an the west side.
Approximately 25 railroad cars are visible is the plant area. Traas-
portation facilities also include hard-surface ,4 roads which are laid
out in a rectangular pattern. The plant has only two road entrances,
one on the west side and the other on the southeast.
