Maridan Industries Incorporated was first established as Maridan Chemical Industries, a single
proprietorship company registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on July 5,
1991, and with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under license number RDII-RVI-DM-
021. Founded by Maridan Nava-Sollesta, the company specialized primarily in manufacturing
galenicals or medicines for external use made from the active components of plants and
chemicals. Among its first products were white rose rubbing alcohol, aceite de manzanilla, aceite
de alcamporado, oil of wintergreen, and solutions of povidone iodine, salicylic acid and
hydrogen peroxide.
While the company focuses on producing top products of choice, it seeks to keep abreast of the
dynamic chemical industry in diversified means. Pursuing quality while creating no adverse
impact on the environment is also one of its major thrusts. Thus, a significant portion of the
company investment yearly is on state-of-the art equipment and maintenance, proper waste
management, and sanitation that do not compromise the communities in the vicinity of its
facilities.
Likewise, investing in quality people and talent is of utmost importance. From the administration
to the manufacturing department to marketing, the company has a robust roster of competent and
driven personnel who seek to deliver on corporate goals.
Through the years, Maridan Industries Incorporated has remained steadfast in delivering
exceptional products and services as it earned invaluable support from loyal customers while
continuously building strong business relationships among its stakeholders, partners, and
suppliers. To date, Maridan Industries Incorporated has launched its new line of antiseptic brand,
Hyclens.

Process Flow
1. Quarry
Extraction of limestone, marl and clays using drilling and blasting techniques
Other materials that contain the required proportions of calcium, silicon, aluminium and
iron oxides are extracted as well
2. Crusher
The quarried material is then reduced in size by compression and/or impact in various
mechanical crushers
Crushed rock is reduced in size from 120 cm to between 1.2 and 8 cm.
Drying of raw material may also be necessary for efficient crushing and pre-blending
3. Conveyor
Raw material is then transported from the quarry
using conveyors, rail wagons or other suitable logistics solutions specific to the cement
plant
4. Mixing bed
The crushed limestone and clay is homogenized by stacking and reclaiming in a long
layered stockpile
This material is then ready for milling and drying in the kiln
5. Raw mill
Heavy rollers are held over a rotating table and the material is milled until it is fine
enough to be carried by air to a homogenizing silo.
6. Filter bag
Filters comprise filters of either woven fabric or needle felts to remove particles from kiln
exhaust
The exhaust gas from many kilns is used for drying raw materials
7. Preheater
Cyclone preheaters enable the raw material of cement production to be preheated before
entry into the kiln.
This increases the energy efficiency of the kiln as the material is 20-40% calcined at the
point of entry into the kiln.
8. Kiln
The kiln is designed to maximize the efficiency of heat transfer from fuel burning to the
raw material
In the preheater tower the raw materials are heated rapidly to a temperature of about
1000C, where the limestone forms burnt lime.
At this high temperature, minerals fuse together to form predominantly calcium silicate
crystals - cement clinker.
9. Cooler
The ambient air used to cool the clinker is then fed into the kiln as combustion air
Clinker may be either stored on site in preparation for grinding to form cement
Finish milling is the grinding together of cement clinker, with around 5% of natural or
synthetic gypsum
Other cementitious materials such as slag, flyash or other pozzolans may also be
incorporated into the final cement powder
