The cement industry has seen an immense increase in alternative fuels in recent decades. This has benefits for energy efficiency and environmental impact but also presents new challenges that have implications for the kiln inlet measurement in addition to the process.
ProKiln is the 4th generation of ABB for gas sampling at the kiln inlet and calciner in the cement industry. The premium product has been developed to meet the changing process conditions in cement plants due to the increased use of alternative fuels.
The premium solution for cement plants with increased use of alternative fuels
Cement production is highly energy intensive and the majority of plants worldwide are
continuously seeking to increase use of alternative fuels to reduce the impact on the
environment and increase process efficiency. According to the European Cement Association there is no technical limitation for cement plants to increase use of alternative fuels up to 95%. With the industry moving rapidly in this direction, despite clear economic and environmental benefits, it also presents new challenges for process and equipment.
To meet the changing process conditions, ABB and FLO2R have joined forces to offer a premium product that supports cement plants in achieving their objectives. With 60 years’ combined experience, the 4th generation kiln inlet solution of ABB has been developed.
