WHY WHR .. ? (WASTE HEAT RECOVERY)
• In Cement Industry 65% Energy will be utilized for clinkerization & the remaining 35% energy will be getting
wasted.
• In Cement production Energy (Power) cost is one of the major contributors.
• To tap & recover the exhaust gases generating from pre heater and cooler and utilize it for generating power.
• To conserve and avoid the reduction of fossil fuels for future generations.
• To reduce CO2 emissions and protect environment.
• To meet continuous increase in fuel and energy prices.
• To use waste heat from Cement plant exhaust gases and generate power that reduce the fossil fuel consumption
and help to resolve air pollution problems associated with the use of conventional fuels. Hence it becomes
necessary to generate power by using exhaust gases from cement Plant and conserve the natural resources for
future.

WHY WHR .. ? (WASTE HEAT RECOVERY)
• PCIL installed and commissioned waste heat recovery system in december’2015 with a capital expenditure of
about INR. 65.22 crores and started utilizing waste heat from pre-heater and cooler for power generation.
• The waste heat recovery system was installed and commissioned with the support from
M/s. TESPL, Pune and achieving PLF of 85% on an average.
• The WHR power plant comprises one air quench cooler (AQC) boiler, one suspension pre-hater (SP) boiler in
a single line and connected to one common turbine (rated 7.0 mw). The AQC boiler generates both high
pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) steam which induces the turbine for generating power. The dual
pressure system maximizes the use of waste heat and provides approximately 5% more power than a single
pressure system.
WHY WHR .. ? (WASTE HEAT RECOVERY)
AQC Boiler PH Boiler Steam Turbine
Operating Process…
• Waste Heat Recovery power plant operates with Steam Rankine Cycle which is the basis for conventional thermal
power generation station and consists of a pre heater source (Boiler) that converts the water to high pressure
vapor (steam in a power station) by the heat exhaust from pre-heater and cooler then expanded through a turbo
generator producing power. Low pressure vapor exhausted from the turbo generator is condensed back to a
liquid state, with condensate from the condenser returned to the boiler feed water pump to continue the cycle.
Waste heat recovery consists of heat exchanger or heat recovery steam generators (HRSGS) those transfer the
heat from the exhaust gases to the working fluid inside turbines, electric generator, condensers and a working
fluid cooling system.

CRITICAL CRITERIA CONSIDERED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF WHRPP
• In cement industries pre heater gases, dust load is high, and is sticky and in cooler dust is very abrasive in nature.
Hence care has been taken for selection of the suitable design & specific equipment for dust dislodging system.
Dampers and configuration of the boiler, turbine and condenser etc.
• Because of WHRPP, the additional pressure drop will be there in pre-heater & cooler pump, hence the same are
modified as required.
• It is a routine that the kiln performance vary from time to time, resulting in fluctuating exhaust gas conditions
and so the waste heat Boiler and the connected turbine generator but, suitable designed/selected, to take care of
such fluctuations to the extent possible.
CENTRAL COTROL ROOM (CCR) FOR WHRPP
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM WHR POWER PLANT & CONTINUING
• Reduced purchased power consumption and the burden on Captive Power Plant which in turn reduced
operating costs.
• Mitigated the impact of future electric price increases.
• Enhanced Plant power reliability.
• Improved plant competitive position in the market.
• Lowered Plant specific energy consumption, reducing the green house gas emission based on credit for
reduced fossil fired captive power generation.
• The requirement of power from grid is reduced.
• Complied with Energy efficiency targets of PAT scheme to grid Energy Saving Cerificates purchase.
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM WHR POWER PLANT & CONTINUING
• As a result of the above intervention annual cost saving INR 9 crores/annum from the Electrical energy
savings (248 lakhs Kwh /Annum) was achieved and an overall savings of 14,197 MT of oil equivalent
(MTOE) was obtained in this implementation.
• Power Generation 2,47,83,434 Kwh/Annum
• CO2 emission reduction 22,536 Tons/Anum
ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONCLUSION:
• Cement Industry being a power intensive industry. One has to think in terms of Energy Optimization and
savings by commissioning waste heat recovery power plants, those contribute significantly, to the electrical
energy savings.
• The reduction in CO2 emission makes it Environment & Eco friendly.
• Essentially in an Endeavour to improve industrial energy efficiency with a focus on reducing energy
consumption forced the industry to implement latest technologies like installation of WHRPP
CONCLUSION:
Substantial potential for energy efficiency improvement exists in the cement industry individual plants,
persistent efforts are also being made to continue to improve energy efficiency and reduce the energy cost for
the cement Industry for survival and growth. One baby step towards arresting “FLASE AIR” can contribute
immensely towards cost cutting by cement manufacturing and improve energy efficiency. It is needless to
mention that our efforts to improve energy efficiency will also minimize green house gas and mitigate the
environmental problems associated with cement production.
