佛羅倫薩: Holcim 燃煤缺乏
由于鐵路運輸需求的增加,Holcim公司正努力存儲水泥窯所需的燃料資源。雖然最近得到幫助,但生產(chǎn)車間情況任不穩(wěn)定.有車間經(jīng)理說,“我們是得到了燃料,但是我們沒有得到我們所需要的數(shù)量,更不能存儲燃料”。星期二和星期三公司收到的煤可以支撐一個星期,但沒有其它的煤安排到貨。
兩星期前,有關(guān)人士曾到奧馬哈向官方申請優(yōu)先運輸,但是官方人員似乎也很難減輕Holcim公司的壓力。由于經(jīng)濟落后,為了減少開支,運輸部門解雇了一批運輸工人,運輸能力也下降了。
Holcim 可以輪流使用燃料,如天然氣,但是有些設(shè)備的一天的溫度可能達到1475攝氏度,這個選擇太花費太大。
