Under the latest MoU, signed in Mumbai on Saturday, the Anil Poddar Group will set up a calcium hydroxide plant on a 20,000 sq metre site within the industrial complex with an initial capacity of 5 tonnes/day. Raw material for the plant will be supplied by Al Duqm Quarries. Calcium hydroxide has wide application in a number of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and water treatment. The Shumook Mining Industries Complex will be built in several stages. Investments expected to come up within the complex include projects for the manufacture of cement, lime, glass, aluminium fabrication, fertiliser, poultry feed, and waste container manufacturing, among others.
