CEMBUREAU, the European cement association, and ETRMA, the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers association, are calling upon the EU to review Annex II (Recovery operations) of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) (2008/98/EC) by implementing improvements in scientific and technical progress in this area in order to support waste treatment options which combine both energy recovery and material recycling. ...
Materials used for co-processing typically consist of pre-processed liquids or solids in the form of chips, pellets of fluffy crumbs. However, the use of liquid and solid alternative fuels in cement kilns is bringing new danger. ...
For the production of plaster products natural gypsum, synthetic gypsum or a mixture of both are calcined. Depending on the production process two different modifications of the hemihydrate CaSO4 x ½ H2O are obtained. ...
The cement markets in the Customs Union, which is formed by Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan show signs of deceleration, after some two-digit growth rates in the last few years.
The efficient implementation of accurate gravimetric dosing system for material feeding or blending in cement plants require both, a reliable mechanical platform and a robust, precise and ergonomic control system. ...
The kiln hood of a rotary kiln in a cement plant connects the hot area of the kiln with the clinker cooler and is therefore always exposed to high thermal and process-related stresses. In recent decades, these loads have steadily increased in consequence of the use of alternative fuels and thereby induced higher process temperatures. For system builders, this means an enormous design effort, when rotary kilns are modernized.
With a new product series of burners for outputs of 160 kW to 13 MW, Loesche ThermoProzess GmbH (LTP) from Gelsenkirchen/Germany has its own compact device for industrial applications. With an...
To reduce the consumption of primary fuels such as oil or gas in order to bring down the emission of CO2, Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) is coming into increasing use, particularly in the cement industry....
In September 2014 the French cement plant manufacturer Fives FCB charged Hazemag & EPR with the supply of components for precrushing cement raw material and gypsum for the new QNCC5 line in Qatar. In...
The German Engineering Association (Verein Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbauer VDMA) expected a difficult time for the national engineering industry in the thermal process branch when publishing the...
