Oman Cement Co said on April 16, 2007 in a statement to Muscat Securities Market (MSM) that its new kiln with a daily capacity of 3500t of clinker will be fully operational in 2010.  
 
The company announced its plan to install a new kiln on March 20, 2007 following the agreement of the Omani Ministry of Commerce and Industry to provide the company with additional 350,000m3 of natural gas per day.  
 
With the installation and commissioning of the new kiln,  Oman Cement Co expects to book a pre-tax profit of OMR30m (US$78m) for 2010 provided that the input costs and market prices remain stable, the company said.
