Modern cement plant design with a view to efficiency and the environment

Using today's proven technology we can design a cement plant, which not only will meet many of the emission requirements, but also uses the least possible amount of thermal and electrical energy. Today's modern cement plant design will lower initial capital investment, lower operating costs, and also reduce the burden of the cement plant on the environment. These desirable requirements are achieved either directly by reducing process emissions or indirectly by significantly reducing power and fuel consumption per ton of product produced. The author discusses the following areas of design: raw grinding system, pyro-system design, kiln design, kiln burner design, tertiary air-take-off, and clinker cooler design. >
