Holcim replaces Beckum cooler08 January 2024, Published under Cement NewsHolcim is modernising its Beckum pyroprocessing line with a new state-of-the-art Pendulum cooler. The project represents a EUR20m investment and is expected to significantly reduce the plant's thermal energy requirement as well as CO 2 emissions. The cement producer will shut down its plant on 24 July for approximately 45 days to install the new cooler with a restart scheduled for the beginning of September. However, during its annual inspection between 8-26 January, the plant will firs... |
Finnsementti sets decarbonisation and lower carbon cement goals30 May 2023, Published under Cement NewsThrough its parent company CRH , Finnsementti is committed to the science-based emission reduction goal of limiting global warming to less than 1.5˚C. To achieve these goals, Finnsementti needs to reduce is CO 2 emissions by at least a quarter from its 2021 level by 2030. However, the company has set a 30 per cent reduction over the period as its goal. CO 2 emission reductions at Finnsementti are obtained from both the specific emissions of clinker and cement. In the case of ceme... |
Stepping up cooler efficiency08 March 2021, Published under Cement NewsTianjin Cement Industry Design and Research Institute Co’s new fourth-generation cooler, called the ‘Sinowalk’, includes key features such as high heat recovery efficiency, stable mechanical performance and intelligent control. Having been well received by the cement industry in recent years, typical case studies for new EPC and retrofit projects bring to light ways in which the Sinowalk is helping to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

The project enabled the plant to meet European environment standards. The current spate of work centres around a new cooler. This will enable heat recovery from... |
Red rivers of segregation09 March 2016, Published under Cement NewsThis month’s Technical Forum ponders the tendency of particulate solids to segregate at various stages of the cement manufacturing process with critical implications, especially in the clinker cooler. Red rivers are caused by particle segregation in the cement production process and can cause premature equipment failure As this month’s Technical Forum focusses on the phenomenon of segregation in the cement manufacturing process, let’s start with a definition of segregation. ... |
The modern cooler16 November 2015, Published under Cement NewsClinker cooling is a key step in the pyroprocessing system. The cooler is essential for recuperating heat from the clinker and cooling it sufficiently for the cement milling operation. However, the primary objective of the cooler is to transport hot clinker from the kiln. During this process, the cooler fulfills a range of functions and its design needs to take into account the requirement to transport clinker efficiently as well as help to recover waste heat and obtain the optimum clinker p... |
