High efficiency cement cooling

Conventional cement cooling uses water flow that is open to the plant environment leading to issues with efficiency, maintenance, emissions and contamination. A new indirect cooling technology using cooling water enclosed within plates was tested at a Canadian cement plant showing improved efficiency and promises better maintenance and water usage. Test results are summarized and compared to the conventional cement cooling equipment.
