The basic system concept is composed of three distinct, but closely interrelated management tasks which are supported by software and hardware information systems. The ELCON (electric load control) module keeps track of usage online and indicates where and when corrective measures are necessary. This can be accomplished through automatic load switching or through preparation of instructions for manual intervention by the control room operator. Computerized energy data collection is the crucial point and a precondition for the second step goal: reduced specific energy consumption. It is shown that an energy cost reduction of between 3 to 6% may be expected.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339195,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on cement Industry","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125275865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project was conceived and executed during a time when plant utilization regularly exceeded 95% and cement shipments had reached all-time highs. A study was made of the preheater calciner performance with a view toward improving kiln output. The bottleneck in the system was the kiln induced draft fan, in connection with high pressure loss over the preheater. Pressures approached -30\" W.G. The study concluded that it should be possible to reduce the pressure loss over the preheater by introduction of the FLS-LP (low pressure) cyclone. The fact that the cyclones and calciner were replaced in an almost normal planned maintenance and kiln lining outage indicates that it is possible to provide nearly any such system with new cyclones, in one or more stages, to improve output, fuel economy and power consumption.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339195,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on cement Industry","volume":"44 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131192014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This modernization is being accomplished by reorganizing the process around a new 5.4 m diameter by 90 m long rotary kiln with five-stage preheater and precalciner. The plant has thus increased its clinker production capacity from 3600 mtpd by three old kilns to 5000 mtpd with the new kiln in the first phase. It will be increased further to 7200 mtpd by the addition of a second preheater and a fourth grate in the cooler, both of which are provided for in the layout. The new production equipment concept consequently has to address the following particular circumstances: (1) requirement to phase out progressively, over a period of ten years, existing systems such as those for raw meal, fuels, clinker and cement; (2) requirement to integrate and phase in new systems in an optimal fashion; (3) implementation of a new concept including new material handling systems for the 7200 mtpd capacity.
