feasibility study for the reconstruction of ACMC. The institute
developed an integrated approach to designing new and modernizing
existing facilities at ACMC. The project includes the development of
efficient technologies, implementation of modern engineering solutions
and the use of more efficient, higher-output equipment.
In June 2009, the government of Armenia provided ACMC with
