Why does the cement industry emit so much CO2 ?
Raw Cement Meal(mainly limestone)
Dilute CO2
Cement ClinkerGas flow
Solids flow
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Pre-Heater
Rotary Kiln(Clinkering)

Where does LEILAC fit in a cement plant ?
Pure CO2
No theoretical energy penalty
Potential operational advantages – Lower Gas Flows
Potential operational advantages – Lower Maintenance
