Process Optimization - Why?

To Reduce your Cost. (As simple as that!!) Costs mainly in a cement plant

– EnergyCost in Power consumedCost of CO2 CreditsCost of Fuel -Thermal Energy

– ProductionCost due to high variability of raw materials in the quarry, and

stock pileAdditives at the mill.Cost due to long transition times between productsCost due to high clinker content in final cement production.


How can we help you.?

• Config with one analyzer servicing two raw mills, two cement mills (or one raw mill and one kiln feed sampling point)

• Feasible, when horizontal distance between sampling points are less than say 10 m

• Y-piece connection for short hori- zontaldistances or sufficient installation height

• Sample tube inclination from vertical: preferably < 15 deg; maximum 30 deg

• Sampling in chutes or air slidessupported

“Elevator Power” as an indication of production, was here selected to be more important than the second objective, i.e. fineness parameter

If a measurement “Status” is evaluated as invalid, its model-based prediction can automatically be used as replacement measurement
