Clinker Burning - Supreme Discipline in Cement Production
If clinker is not the best, cement can never be good. Clinker quality has the biggest
impact on cement quality. And the clinker burning process determines, as well as raw
meal, the quality of clinker.
Clinker burning process is the cement production step with the highest cost. Secondary
raw materials and secondary fuels have big cost saving potential and biomass fuels
improve the CO2-balance.
The complex field of clinker burning comprises e.g. the following topics:
• Plant technology (heat exchanger, calciner, rotary kiln, clinker cooler)
• Concepts and design of clinker kilns
• Refractory management
• Fuels and secondary fuels
• Kiln firing / burner
• Interaction of process and quality
• Process control, expert systems
• Process optimization, kiln performance optimization
• Improvement of energy efficiency
• Environmental engineering / emission management / EU ETS
• Quality control
