A successful transition to dry process in record time

The article describes retrofitting of the wet process cement production line at OAO Ivano-Frankivsk-Cement, performed in collaboration with the Danish company FLSmidth. The plant became the first company in Ukraine to work according to the modern dry process, and signif...

A new and improved cooler at a Holcim Untervaz cement plant

Improvements to the ETA cooler by Claudius Peters, Germany, are considered. After commissioning at the cement plant of Holcim Untervaz in Switzerland, three more coolers of this type were installed at all three Holcim plants in this country. The experience of operating ...

The new grinding plant at OAO Ivano-Frankovsk-Cement

The new grinding plant from Christian Pfeiffer, Germany, was commissioned at OAO IvanoFrankovsk-Cement. Due to a high demand for cement in Ukraine the mill was first run in an open circuit, and after 7 months — in a closed circuit, boosting performance by 18 %.

Increased productivity of cement mills through modernization of aspiration systems

The paper proposes a method for reducing specific energy consumption by cement grinding in ball and tube mills (BTM). The results after modernization of aspiration systems according to the proposed method at the cement plants of AO EUROCEMENT Ukraine are provide...

Improvements of return water supply for the preparation of cement slurry

The improved return water supply arrangement for the preparation of slurry at the cement plant of the Polar Division of OAO MMC Norilsk Nickel (CP PD, OAO MMC Norilsk Nickel) is reviewed. As a result, the wastewater discharge was reduced.

An alternative solution for cement grinding and packing

A mobile unit for grinding and packaging of cement developed and manufactured by Cemengal, Spain is described. The unit is housed in transport containers, is easy to install and makes it possible to produce more than 90 tonnes of ordinary Portland cement and 60 tonnes o...

Evolutionary development of performance management

It is shown that the traditional approach to the implementation of MES/MOM projects consisting in the use of a complete, integrated MES/MOM solution often leads to unsatisfactory results not meeting the customer’s expectations. An alternative evolutionary approach, whic...

Approaches to the intelligent decision support and control system for a rotary cement clinker kiln

The principles for an advisor system based on generalized classical and fuzzy methods, using in addition the information obtained from the machine vision system, are described. With regard to the expert opinion, the most critical parts of the kiln were identified, where...

Comparative results of the identification of clinker phase composition and microstructure by methods of physico-chemical analysis

The aim of the research was to compare the results of the identification of phase composition of clinkers by different methods and evaluation of the accuracy of measurements characterizing the content of different phases. It is shown that there may be significant differ...

Breakthrough in clinker grinding

Fundamental research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSH) is taking a closer look at the theoretical power required for particle size reduction on the micro scale. This work has the potential to greatly r...
