The increasing use of alternative fuels in cement production has led to increased wear on kiln refractories. Infiltration of sulphur oxides, alkali sulphates, and chlorides require more frequent attention to the state of the refractory to ensure continued safe operation of the kiln line.

While alternative fuels in cement manufacturing offer significant advantages, including cost savings and reductions in carbon emissions, they also present unique challenges, particularly their impact on kiln operation and durability.
