This photo analysis of the Rustavi Cement Plant is based on small
format photography
d has been prepared by the Photo
Intelligence Division of ORR. This plant was previously reported in
RR-GP/DP-1-57
. However, additional photo cov-
erage has made possible this more detailed analysis.

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) (see accompanying photo-
graph). 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 kiins the partially dried slurry is changed to clinker, which
A search of available collateral has failed to disclose any mention
of the Rustavi Cement Plant prior to 1950,
