The first task was to efficiently supply cement to the plant and store it: a pneumatic transport system fills a 10 000 t Ventomatic® inverted cone silo from self-unloading vessels. The solution was designed so that the compressors on the ship can unload the material without external help at high capacities of up to 250 tph. As power limitations are enforced in the Lampung area, the plant needed to be able to run with minimum power consumption. Potentially, such systems can be very energy intensive, so it was indispensable to supply a solution that would minimise power requirements.

She graduated from the University of Oxford in 2015 with an MSt in Classical Archaeology, although she spent too much of her time doing sport, from rowing to cheerleading.
She is now living in Woking and enjoys reading, writing, travel and pretending she has the ability to cook.
