Abstract :
The Tijeras, New Mexico plant is located about 6 miles east of Albuquerque just south of Interstate 40 nestled in the Southern Rocky mountains. The plant is in Tijeras (Spanish for Scissors) canyon at an elevation of 6,300 feet or 1920 meters above sea level. It was originally built by Ideal Cement Company, and the first clinker from the new plant was produced on May 6, 1959. This paper describes a project to upgrade this cement plant´s process control system
