To improve energy efficiency at its cement plant, OYAK Group-owned Denizli Çimento Sanayii TAŞ in western Anatolia, Turkey, decided to introduce alternative fuels (AFs) to fire the preheater, the calciner and the main burner. To store, mix and convey AFs of different composition, the cement producer opted for a tailor-made AF system from BEUMER Group. At the core of this solution are two pipe conveyors.
