FOREWORD
The Central Pollution Control Board has published several industry specific documents,
called Comprehensive Industry Documents (COINDS), envisaging the environmental
issues and preventive measures. The present document on vertical shaft kiln based mini
cement plants is in continuation of the series of COINDS. A Study was undertaken by
Central Pollution Control Board through National Council for Cement and Building
Materials, in which depth examination of selected vertical shaft kiln based mini cement
plants was conducted.
This Report provides detailed information on number of units in the country, their
locations, capacities, manufacturing process, emissions generated, present status of
pollution control measures and also the recommendations for abatement and control of
pollution. This will enable the vertical shaft kiln based mini cement plants need to install
proper pollution control devices and to operate them to achieve the intended objective of
pollution control.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the work done by the team of NCBM,
headed by Dr. L.K. Janakiraman. I also appreciate the efforts made by my colleagues Sh.
P.K. Gupta, Environmental Engineer and Sh. J.S. Kamyotra, Additional Director for
coordinating and finalizing the Study under the guidance of Dr. B. Sengupta, Member

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Presently in India there are 333 vertical shaft kiln (VSK) based mini cement
plants of various capacities ranging from 20 to 300 tonnes per day (TPD) of
various technologies set up in different parts of the country. The distribution is in
the form of clusters.
2 Out of 333, only 193 VSK based mini cement plants are in operation having
operating capacity of 3.47 million tones per annum.
3 Mini cement plant is basically air polluting industry. The air pollution is mainly in
the form of particulate matter emission.
4 To assess the present environmental scenario of Indian Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK)
based Mini Cement Plants, a questionnaire was prepared and sent to 279 VSK
Mini Cement Plants.
The Mini Cement Plant clusters were divided into two regions namely southern
region and northern region. Two plants from southern region and six plants from
northern region were selected for the study. The two plants in A.P are based on
CRI -MVSK technology having the installed capacity of 200 TPD with two VSKs of
100 TPD each. Six plants selected in Behror, Rajasthan are based on Saboo
VSK Technology having the installed capacity ranging from 20 to 50 TPD.
5 In-depth study was pursued in eight plants. The data in these plants were
collected with respect to history of the plant, manufacturing process and flow-
sheet, sources of air pollution, stack emission monitoring, analysis of particulate
mater for particle size distribution, raw materials quality and its effect on air
pollution, pollution control devices adopted and their design, economics, noise
pollution etc.
6 The methodology adopted for collection of data and information includes:
a) Visit to VSK mini cement plants

b) Discussion of various environmental related issues with the management.
c) Environmental monitoring was carried out for the following:
i) Ambient Air Quality in downwind and upwind directions
ii) Fugitive dust at various working areas.
iii) Stack emission: Stacks of VSK: Particulate matter, SO2

15 Few CRI -MVSK (Cement Research Institute of India - Modern Vertical Shaft Kiln)
cement plants are having pollution control devices in all the sections while other
technology based VSK plants are not having pollution control devices in all the
sections. These plants are having only open type bags as pollution control
devices in all the sections, which needs to be modified.
16 As a guideline following pollution control devices are suggested for various
sections of VSK based mini cement plants subject to compliance of emission
standards:
a) Crushing and raw materials proportioning section - Bag Filter.
b) Raw mill section - Twin cyclone and Bag Filter
c) Homogenising Silo - Bag Filter
d) Nodulizer - Bag Filter
e) VSK stack - Cyclone
O Clinker crusher and discharge section - Bag Filter

g) Cement mill and packing house - Bag Filter
The above air pollution control devices are indicative in nature. Cement Plant
may explore the possibilities of other devices also. The important thing which is
to be kept in mind is that in all the cases the plant has to meet the prescribed
emission standards.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The capacity of a mini cement plant based on Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK)
technology is limited to 300 TPD or 99000 TPA and the capacity of a mini cement
plant based on Rotary Kiln (RK) technology is limited to 900 TPD or 2,97,000
TPA (For the plant based on RK technology, the capacity has been enhanced
from 600 TPD or 1,98,000 TPA to 900 TPD or 2,97,000 TPA vide notification no.
20/99 — Central Excise dated 7 May 1999). These plants are mainly based on
vertical shaft kiln technology (VSK). At present there are 333 VSK mini cement
plants of capacities ranging from 20 - 300 TPD of various technologies located in
different parts of the country. During the various operation of cement
manufacturing, dust is emitted which poses problem of air pollution. Majority of
these plants are located in clusters in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya
Pradesh and Rajasthan. Rests of the plants are distributed in the other parts of
the country as shown in Exhibit — 1.
2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
In the absence of definite techno-economic control devices, air pollution control

in VSK mini cement plants could not be achieved at the desired level. The
present technologies adopted by most of the plants are not adequate.
Considering the above, it was decided to develop .a comprehensive industry
document (COINDS) on VSK mini cement plants.
The present study of VSK mini cement plant deals with manufacturing process,
identification of sources of dust emission, stack emission monitoring, analysis of
particulate matter for particle size distribution, air pollution control devices
adopted, ambient air quality monitoring and section wise suggestions for dust
control system.
3.0 GROWTH OF MINI CEMENT PLANT
The prevailing scenario of acute cement scarcity in mid seventies with

inadequate investment in this core sector, led to the Government policy for
promotion of mini cement plants which could fulfill many objectives in addition to
producing cement to meet the local needs. Taking into account various factors
which were prevailing then, the Government of India came out with the policy for
promotion / establishment of mini cement plants in early 1979. In addition to the
several incentives and concessions offered by the Government for establishing
mini cement plants, the policy also had laid stress on certain socio-economic
objectives to be fulfilled in setting up the mini cement plants.
As a result of the Government's encouragement backed by the technological

support extended by the National R&D laboratories in the country, a number of
mini cement plants came up in different parts of the country, mostly on
conventional dry process rotary kiln and vertical shaft kiln technologies of CRI,
Saboo & RRL, Jorhat. The first VSK based (30 tpd CRI -MVSK) mini cement
1
plant became operational in early 1981, whereas the first (200 tpd) mini cement
plant based on rotary kiln technology went on stream in 1982. In addition, some
VSK plants mostly in small-scale sector came up, whose plant and machinery
were supplied by M/s. Shree Engineers, Jodhpur.
Status of mini cement plants at a glance as on 31 March 2001 and 31 March

2006 is given in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively. Thus, it could be seen that
during the Xth Five Year Plan, there has been an addition of 8 plants based on
Rotary Kiln Technology, increasing the operating capacity from 5.96 MTPA to 6.4
MTPA. Number of mini cement plants in the country, installed capacity, location,
year of commissioning of various technologies is listed at Annexure 1.

4.0 WORLD SCENARIO OF MINI CEMENT PLANT
The Chinese cement industry has seen a rapid growth over the last five decades.
The production of cement was less than 3 Million tonnes in 1952, but in 1999 the
total production of cement reached 573 Million tonnes. Thus, China, accounting
for about one third of the global cement production ranks first in the world today
in terms of cement output.
The total installed capacity of the Chinese cement industry is estimated at 700
Million tonnes from over 7000 cement plants, which means that the average
capacity of each cement plant is about 1,00,000 tonnes per annum. In China,
K
the cement industry has a multiple ownership structure and a major part of the
industry belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture under its Administration of Town
and Village Industrial Enterprises (TVIE). The cement plants belonging to this
sector are small and based on Vertical Shaft Kilns (VSK), which traditionally have
consumed high levels of raw materials, fuel and power and therefore cause
serious environmental pollution.
During the last five years, there have been planned efforts to look at the energy
and environmental issues of these plants with the help of international
organizations like UNIDO, IVAM Environmental Research and University of
Amsterdam. These international bodies have undertaken the study for cleaner
production technology and energy conservation measures in these cement
plants.
As previously mentioned, the Chinese cement industry still uses the VSK process
as its principal technology. However, in the last two decades, there has been the
introduction of modern preheater and precalciner kiln systems at medium and
large sized plants. The sum total effect has been the existence of a mix of
technologies and there are now over 13,000 VSK plants in China.
Currently, the modern large cement plants with precalciner technology cover less
than 10 percent of the total cement output of the country. About 12 percent of
the output comes from a plethora of small and medium size rotary kiln plants.
The total output from the VSK plants constitutes about 78 percent. According to
a regulation issued in 1997, the VSKs with a capacity of 44,000 tonnes per
annum or less were to be discontinued by the end of 2000, barring only a few
regions where the deadline is 2005. By the end of 1999, it had been officially
reported that the VSK plants with an aggregate production capacity of about 20
Million tones per annum had been closed down. The production and distribution
of Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK) mini cement plants worldwide are given in Table 3.
5.0 COMPARISON OF LARGE AND MINI CEMENT PLANTS
Cement is one of the most important building materials. The total cement
production in the world reached 1950 million tonnes in 2003. A major percentage
of this total production is from large-scale plants with capacities ranging from
2000 to 20,000 tpd and transported to the place of use in bulk or bags.
Large capacity plants are appropriate for deriving the benefits from economies of
scale in locations where:
- Large enough deposits of the basic raw material i.e. limestonne is

available.
- Infrastructural needs such as power and transportation system are
sufficient.
- Cement consumption is substantially concentrated.
- Transportation costs are low
3
Capital-intensive technology is preferable from socio-economic
considerations.

Mini cement plants are appropriate for other areas particularly in cases like :
- Small countries, which intend to develop their own cement industry to

cater to their limited needs, thus becoming independent of imports.
- Large countries with low population density and/or low per capita cement
consumption.
- Only scattered limestonne deposits, which cannot sustain large-scale
cement plants, are available.
- Large cement plants cannot be set-up due to infrastructural constraints —
specially hilly and remote regions.
4
Areas where local and regional market will absorb the production of a mini
cement plant only and that industrial size plants could not operate at
economic production rates.
Socio -economic consideration justifies a Labour intensive technology
rather than a capital intensive one.
Mini cement plants have following advantages.
- Lowers capital investment per unit production without sacrificing quality of

either the plant or the product.
- Helps realise quicker returns on capital invested because of lower
gestation periods.
- Brings cement industry within the financial access of smaller entrepreneur
and thus enlarge entrepreneurship in the country.
- Contributes to uplifting local economy and development as well as to
formation of rural cooperatives as owners of cement plant.
- Creates employment opportunities in rural areas on a well dispersed basis
- Enables development of cement industry in terrains where movement of
heavy machinery and cement are difficult.
- Makes it possible to exploit small deposits of limestonne as well as limited
quantities of calcareous industrial wastes.
- Avoids wasteful movement and thus helps to bring down the average unit
cost of transportation of cement in the country as well as strain on Nation's
transportation system.
- Eliminates packing charges where the utilisation point is localised by
resorting to bulk supply.
6.0 CEMENT MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES
The various technologies, which have been tried for adoption in mini cement
plant, are:
i) Fluidized Bed Process (Fuller Pyzel)

ii) Reba Process
iii) Travelling Grate (Lurgi sinter grate)
iv) Rotary kiln and
v) Vertical Shaft Kiln
In a nutshell, in all these five alternative schemes of technological lines, there is

an upper and lower threshold of size beyond which either it is technologically not
feasible or economically not viable. Down scaling of plants under any particular
technology even within these threshold results in
Increase in investment per annual tonne of installed capacity

Increase in the cost of production per tonne.
5
So when the technical and economical threshold is reached for any given
technology line, other technology lines may still give technically feasible and
economically viable results.
The conventional rotary kiln is normally uneconomical below 300 to 600 tpd and
so the technology lines like Sintergrate and Reba evolved, but they could not
succeed due to inherent defects.
A brief process description for all these technological lines which were tried or
adopted for manufacture of cement in small scale are given in the following
sections:
6.1 Fluidised Bed Process
Of these the fluidised bed or Pyzel process is the least popular because the
number of plants working on this process are extremely few even on global basis
and not much is known except for some broad principles of working. This
process, invented by Robert Pyzel, has been developed in USA by Fuller. A 100
tpd pilot plant based on this technology is reported to be in operation on
experimental basis for the last six years with M/s. Scientific Design Company,
New York, USA. (Fig. 1)
6.1.1 Process Details
The plant consists of a fluidised bed reactor; raw meal consisting of finely ground
feed mixture is pneumatically conveyed to the fluidised bed alongwith fuel and
preheated air. The temperature of the fluidised bed is maintained at
approximately 1315°C by introducing the fuel directly into the fluidised bed.
Cement clinker being almost refractory, coarse clinker particles of 0.8 to 8 mm

can be maintained in granular form in suspension, when finely ground raw mix is
pneumatically blown in, raw cement phases are formed on the hot surface of
characteristically round clinker particles, so that they grow in size continuously.
The Specific heat consumption reported without any heat recovery system is
2600 Kcal/kg of clinker and with heat recovery system 1046 Kcal/kg of clinker.
Energy requirement for production of clinker alone by the fluidised bed reactor is
55 Kwh/t as against 20-25 Kwh/t of clinker in case of rotary or shaft kilns.
Fuels like gas, oil, coal, anthracite and coke could be used in this process.
This process stands a good chance for a promising market in USA as there are
very strict environmental protection specifications regarding oxides of sulphur
and nitrogen. At the same time special `low alkali' cement specifications

necessitate the rejection of large quantity of dust in rotary kiln burning operation.
This dust with high alkali content can be used as a cement raw mix in the Pyzel
reactor.
The specific advantages of Pyzel process have been claimed where there is (a)
high alkali problem; (b) strict environmental protection regulations regarding
oxides of sulphur and nitrogen from exit gases; (c) disposal problem of kiln dust
with high alkali content; and (d) using different fuels like gas, oil, coal, anthracite
and coke.
The high investment cost for the heat recovery systems and stringent controls
through an elaborate instrumentation and automation and non-availability of
highly skilled personnel for the operation of the reactor, go against the very
philosophy of mini cement plant. Due to the inherent technological problems in
stabilising the operation of plants based on the above process and also due to
the reported high investment cost per annual tonne of installed capacity, mini
cement plants based on the above technology have not been reported to be a
commercial success anywhere in the world.
6.2 Reba Process
In this process, the feed operation requires crushing of limestonne to — 15 mm

size, storing in bays/bins, proportioning of raw materials and final grinding in a
roller/ball mill, homogenisation of raw meal and storage.
The fuel used is oil or gas. The homogenised raw meal is fed to a noduliser
where nodules are formed with addition of water and are then fed to a
combustion chamber. The nodules are dried in the preheating zone and heated
in the calcining zone to about 1100°C. The granulated material is then sintered
at about 1450°C and cooled in the shaft cooler. The flow of gases is in opposite
direction to flow of material and thus air used to cool the clinker heats up and is
used as secondary air together with primary air when burning the fuel.
Reba process has not so far been operated on solid fuel, i.e. coal and as such no
operational data are available on such applications.
It was claimed by the firm M/s. Ready Mix Cement Engineering of FRG that the
Reba Kiln installations for production of cement in the range of 50-200 tpd still
have low investment costs and less energy consumption. The heat consumption
is estimated to be approximately 730 Kcal/kg of clinker. Furthermore, the
electrical energy consumption should correspond to that of rotary kilns. The
energy consumption for burning of materials alone is claimed to be 14 Kwh/t.
It is understood that the Reba process has been tried successfully only for
burning of lime and the firm is yet to establish the technology for burning of
cement clinker on a commercial basis. Further, the quality of limestonne and fuel
tried are of very rich quality, i.e., very high percentage of lime in limestonne of the
order of above 52% and coal with every low ash content (10%) and high calorific
value and till date the technology has not been proved using cement grade
8
limestonne and coals with high ash content. No commercial plants are known to
be in operation in the world on this technology. (Fig. 2)
,
6.3 Travelling Grate (Lurgi Sinter Grate)
In this process, the feed operation requires crushing of limestonne to — 15mm

size in a crusher/mill, storing the materials of —15 mm size in gantry/storage bins,
proportioning of raw materials and final grinding in closed circuit ball mill/roller
mill, homogenisation of raw meal and storage, crushing and screening of coal to
—5 mm size in closed circuit operation and storing of crushed coal in bin.
The raw meal and crushed coal are then extracted from respective bins
according to requirement and conveyed to a drum type nodulizer. In addition, the
noduliser is also fed with 15% of —5mm size burnt clinker to form core of nodules
and 15% water spray. The nodules are conveyed by a belt conveyor to moving
sinter bed made of cast iron grate base. A 75 mm thick layer of + 5 mm and —10
mm burnt clinker is first spread over this bed and then the fresh nodules fall over
this. The sinter bed passes through various zones over some distance where
suction is maintained through ID fan. Light diesel oil is fired over the bed in hood
fixed about 200 mm above the bed height and the resulting clinker is discharged
through a rotating arm type breaker in red hot condition over an open pan type
horizontal conveyor where it undergoes cooling. (Fig. 3)
6.4 Small Rotary Kiln
Here the kiln feed and fuel preparation requires crushing and grinding operations,
like:
- Crushing of limestone and additives in a hammer mill or 2-stage, viz., jaw
crusher and hammer mill to —15 mm size.
- Storing the crushed raw materials in storage yard/bins.
- Proportioning and grinding the raw materials in a roller/ball mill.
- Homogenising and storage of raw meal in blending and storage sections.
- Fuel, viz, coal (VM 25-30%) is pulverised in a separate section (combined
coal drying-cum-grinding section).
Blended and homogenised raw meal is then fed to the suspension preheater of
counter current type, where it is preheated and partially calcined by the kiln hot
gases passing in counter current. Raw meal enters the kiln at a temperature of
700°C - 800°C. The exit gases from the preheater are then passed through the
dust collection system and discharged to atmosphere. Dust collected is recycled.
Pulverised coal mixed with primary air is fired from the lower end of the rotary kiln
through coal burners. Secondary air is supplied through clinker cooler to make
up for the combustion air. A flame at around 1660°C is maintained. This heat

the material as the kiln rotates at 1 to 2 rpm. Various chemical reactions
(Calcination, sintering, cooling) takes place as the material temperature goes
upto 1440°C. Hot gases having transferred the heat to material escape in
counter flow i.e. from lower- end to upper end through suspension preheater and
dust collectors to atmosphere. Clinker is discharged into clinker cooler, which
may be rotary, planetary or moving grate type. Clinker is then transported to
storage yard and finally ground with gypsum. Control is maintained through
various control instruments and inspection of burning conditions. (Fig. 4)
6.5 Vertical Shaft Kiln
The use of vertical shaft kiln process for cement manufacturing dates back to the
year 1824 when Portland cement was invented. However, because of its non-
continuous operation, this process was found uneconomical and produced
clinker of non-uniform quality.
Later after the development of continuous pan type noduliser, a significant

advance was achieved and the shaft kiln performance improved considerably
thus permitting its adoption and production of uniform quality of clinker on a
continuous basis. Cement manufacture by using Modern Vertical Shaft kiln is
reportedly being carried out in different countries like China, India, West
Germany, Australia, Italy, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan etc. In fact, a wide variety of
processes have been adopted for the manufacture of cement through Vertical
Shaft Kiln and it would be desirable to mention some of these in the following
sections.
6.5.1 Black Meal Process
This is the most popular type of process used for manufacture of cement through
Modern Vertical Shaft Kiln in which the fuel (usually low volatile coal or coke
breeze) is interground with the raw mix for efficient and uniform burning. Most of
the cement plants using Vertical Shaft Kiln like CRI — Modern Vertical Shaft Kiln,
Vertical Shaft Kiln supplied by M/s. Loesche of West Germany etc are mainly
based on the black meal process.
In this process, the vertical shaft kilns are fed with raw mix of appropriate
composition in the form of nodules. The feed operation usually requires crushing
of limestonne to about -15 mm size in storage bins, proportioning of raw
materials and grinding in a roller or ball mill, homogenizing and nodulizing in pan
type nodulizer. The successful operation of shaft kiln, to a great extent, depends
upon the size of nodules, their uniformity, porosity and thermal stability. The
noduliser consists of an inclined disc or pan rotating about its axis. Raw meal is
charged into noduliser by means of screw conveyor and water is sprayed, while
all the parameters are maintained at optimum conditions. A specially designed
rotating scraper continuously cleans the bottom and the collar of the drum of the
raw meal deposited. The nodules slide down the chute and are •charged in the

vertical shaft kiln evenly all around the periphery continuously with the help of a
rotary feeder situated on the top of the kiln.
The vertical shaft kiln in which the nodules are converted into clinker consists of
a cylindrical shell with conical portion at the top and lined with refractory bricks.
The sintering is normally complete within the conical portion, which is specially
designed to accommodate for shrinkage of nodules. The various zones of
reaction starting from the top of the kiln are; the drying zone, the calcining zone,
the sintering zone and the cooling zone. The combustion air supplied by Roots
blower ascending from below in the cooling zone absorbs heat from the
descending clinker. The whole kiln charge composed of unburnt nodules and
clinker rests on a flat grate rotating slowly at the bottom of the kiln and mounted
over the kiln shaft. The grate is driven with the help of variable speed motor in
order to control the discharge rate of clinker. The clinker is finally taken out of
kiln bottom with the help of a triple air lock mechanically (or hydraulically)
operated discharge gates or Gamma Ray controlled Material Block Tube System
used in Modern Vertical Shaft Kilns. (Fig. 5)
6.5.2 Coal Slurry Process
A variation of the Black Meal process as proposed by Dr. Steven Gottlieb is `Coal
Slurry Process' the main difference being in the method of feed preparation. The
method requires the raw meal to be ground `white', i.e. without fuel. The fuel
(coal with volatile matter upto 16-18%) is ground separately in a wet ball mill to
make slurry with about 50% moisture. The 'white meal' and the `coal slurry' are
separately stored in hoppers over the noduliser platform and are pumped at
controlled rates (through flow meters) into a double paddle mixer to mix the feed
continuously and discharge into the standard noduliser where practically no or
very little water is added to give final shape to the nodules. These nodules are
charged and burnt in the vertical shaft kiln in the same manner as in the case of
"Black Meal' process.
The main advantage claimed by this process is that by wetting of the coal
particles before nodulising, the retention time for the volatile component of the
fuel is increased, thereby allowing this to travel to a zone where adequate
oxygen is available to complete the combustion of the volatile matter within the
bed — thereby permitting a higher volatile content in the coal when compared to
that used in the 'Black Meal' process.
6.5.3 Differential Heat Burning Process
This process, which is a slight variation of the black meal process, has been
reportedly tried out in a number of cement plants in China. In this process about
50% of the total fuel required is interground with the raw meal and the balance is
added later prior to nodulisation. This has been based on the assumption that
the heat requirement at the periphery of the bed in a VSK is usually more by

7.0 TYPES OF MINI CEMENT PLANTS IN INDIA
7.1 CRI — Modern Vertical Shaft Kiln Technology
CRI — Modern VSK technology was pioneered in India by Cement Research

Institute of National Council for Cement and Building Materials as early as 1972
and was first tried out in 1974. General arrangement of CRI- Modern Vertical
Shaft Kiln is shown in Fig. 6. The CRI — Modern VSK cement plant as a compact
unit incorporates the following salient features:
a) A hopper with ramp and reciprocating/laminated feeder has been provided

to ensure continuous feed of uncrushed limestonne to primary crusher.
b) Crushing section usually consists of two stage crushing, Jaw Crusher as
primary and Hammer Mill as secondary one. This will ensure better mill
performance due to uniform feed to the raw mill.
c) Continuous, automatic and accurate raw materials extraction for
proportioning by rotary table feeder/vibratory feeder, with electronic weigh
feeder as an optional feature.
d) Conventional closed circuit air swept ball mill system with trunion and girth
gear arrangement with grit separator, cyclone and bag filters for grinding
of raw materials to ensure the desired granulometry of raw meal resulting
in proper burning.
e) Differential (HP & LP) pneumatic blending with quadrant system reduces
the variation to 1:10 within the smallest possible time.
f) Specially designed Double Collar Noduliser with automatic closed loop
control results in nodules of higher green strength due to extra rolling
action and desired size, porosity and moisture content.
g) Continuously operated rotary feeder drive with adjustable tilt angle and
adjustable height in order to achieve the desired bed profile in the MVSK.
h) Material Block Tube along with `Gamma ray level control device' for clinker
extraction from the MVSK has the advantages of less air leakage, less
dust and noise, lower maintenance and more efficient burning process
due to reduced fluctuations in the combustion air supply.
i) Improved instrumentation system has been provided to monitor all
important process parameters on a continuous basis. All major system
parameters are indicated and recorded.
j) Fully equipped laboratory for physical testing and chemical analysis as per
requirements of BIS. Provision for optimum raw mix design also exists
through CRI -MVSK raw mix design software.
k) In order to improve the burning process inside the VSK and to achieve
higher output and better quality of product, automatic closed loop process
control has been incorporated in the noduliser and VSK section.

I) Safety measures including carbon-monoxide alarm system and electrical
interlocking of drives have been provided in order to protect the manpower
and equipment which include a special alarm for combustion air failure to
prevent any flame shoot out due to carbon-monoxide formation.
m) Dust collection system with stacks is incorporated in all the sections like
crushing, raw mill, blending, cement mill and cement packing which will
ensure a very clean and dust free environment in the CRI -MVSK cement
plant. In addition, modern and proper dust collection arrangements at all
transfer points including proper ventilation of tunnels and a specially
designed low cost dust limitator in the MVSK chimney have been provided.
A typical flow sheet for mini cement plant based on CRI- Modern Vertical Shaft
Kiln is shown in Figure 7. The process is explained below:
CRI -MVSK technology is based on the black meal process in which all the raw
materials, viz, limestonne, clay fuel (coke breeze, pet coke, Jhama coal or any
suitable low volatile coal) and other corrective materials are ground together to a
fineness of 10% retained on 170 mesh as in dry process and intimately blended
to satisfy the chemical requirements for the raw meal. The homogeneous raw
meal is formed into nodules of the desired size by adding water in a pan
nodulizer and fed into the vertical shaft kiln through a revolving feed hopper. As
the material passes down the kiln, it is dried heated and then burnt into clinker.
The clinker is then cooled and discharged from the kiln by a rotary grate at the
bottom of the kiln through a triple air lock discharge device or gamma ray
}
controlled Material Block Tube (MBT). The combustion air to the kiln, which is
provided by a Roots blower, also serves the purpose of cooling the clinker and
thus avoids wastage of heat. The clinker then passes to a cement mill where it is
ground with about 5% gypsum to produce cement of standard quality.
7.2 RRL Technology
Regional Research Laboratories (RRL), Jorhat constituent laboratories of Council

of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), has also done considerable work on the
development of Vertical Shaft Kiln Technology under Indian conditions. About 5
plants based on RRL technology are operating in India and about 10 plants are
under various stages of erection and commissioning. Out of these plants only
one is of 100 tpd capacity and the remaining are of 40 tpd and smaller sizes.
This technology could not become very popular as RRL, unlike NCB, does not
directly associate with the project right from the inception to the commissioning
stage and the licenced fabricators/consultants could not effectively manage the
turn-key supply, erection and commissioning of such plants.
The details of RRL Technology are not available since even a single plant is not
in operation.

7.3 M/S Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd.
A mini cement plant of 170 tpd based on the Gottlieb Coal Slurry Process is
presently under operation in India at M/s. Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. at
Dalmiapuram. Although the production of cement from the plant is reported to be
satisfactory, the plant has not been able to achieve the advantage of using the
high volatile Indian coal used by other rotary kiln cement plants and is reported to
be using low volatile coal/coke breeze as being used by other VSK plants in India
based on the black meal process. Thus the additional investment incurred by the
plant due to separate coal slurry grinding and handling system has not given the
expected returns.
7.3.1 Process
A 200 tpd vertical shaft kiln was installed at M/s Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd,
Dalmiapuram during 1982 and it is now working satisfactorily. This VSK is
operating on 'coal-slurry' process. It is an imported technology supplied by Dr.
S Gottlieb of Australia. A detailed study of this VSK starting from quarry to
cement stage is explained below.
7.3.1.1 Quarrying and Crushing
The limestone is being brought from open cast mines — Kallakudi, Vadugarpet,
Kovandakurichi and Perianagalur by means of locos and lorries. The limestone
will be dropped into the hopper by means of winches or electrical hoist depending
upon the case. The uncrushed limestone will be fed into Double Swing Hammer
Mill, supplied by. FLS., Copenhagen, through a laminated conveyor. This mill is
being driven by 2 HT motors (3.3 KV). The crushed limestone will be carried by
means of inclined belt conveyor to the limestone storage yard.
7.3.1.2 Raw Mill
The crushed limestone, clay and additives if required will be fed into the
respective hoppers by means of EOT crane. These raw materials through the
weigh feeder dropped into `Loesche' mill which is supplied by West Germany.
The capacity of the mill is 52 tonnes per hour. This mill is consisting of 2 rollers
kept over a moving thick metallic pad. The raw materials come in between the
moving pad and the rollers will be ground to the required fineness. These rollers
can be moved up and down by means of hydraulic pressure. The white meal
thus produced in this `Loesche' mill will pass through ESP and this will be fed into
the top of the blending silo of the double decker silo by means of flexo pump.
The corrected white meal will be dropped into the storage silo.
The white meal from the storage SP 10 will be pumped into VSK hopper through
Flexo pump. The capacity of this hopper is 400 tonnes. The white meal will be
fed into the boot of an elevator by means of double screw conveyor. The output
of the elevator is fed into the sieve screw conveyor. The capacity of elevator is
17 tonnes per hour and the capacity of sieve screw conveyor is 15 tph. The
foreign bodies will be removed in the sieve screw conveyor. The output of the
sieve screw conveyor will be fed into the weigh feeder where the quantity of white
meal will be weighed and fed into double shaft paddle conveyor. The rate of
white meal feeding is 11 tph. A special provision is provided underneath the
weigh feeder so that 95% of white meal will go to double shaft paddle conveyor
and the remaining 5% of white will be used for surface conditioning in the
noduliser.
7.3.1.3 Coal Mill
Single chamber tubular mill is used in M/s DCB Ltd, Dalmiapuram for coal
grinding. The capacity of this mill is 8 TPH. 50% coal or coke breeze and 50%
water will be fed into this mill. The output of this coal mill is called 'coal slurry'
which will be fed into the storage tank 'T 1 '. This coal slurry will be transferred
from tank 'T 1 ' into tank `T 2 ' by means of pump. The capacity of tank 'T2' is 60 to
80 tonnes. From the tank `T 2 ' the coal slurry is fed into the tank `T 2 A', situated at
a height of 8.6 m from the ground, by means of an elevator. From the tank `T 2A',
this coal slurry is pumped into tank 'T 3 ' ( called constant level tank) situated at a
height of 23.7 m from the ground by means of pump. From tank `T 3 ' the coal
slurry will be fed into double shaft peddle conveyor.
The white meal and the coal slurry will be thoroughly blended by means- of the
paddles of the double shaft paddle conveyor. This slurry will be fed into the
noduliser drum.
7.3.1.4 Noduliser
Controlled amount of water will be added and the pellets will be formed in the
drum. The size of the pellets is 10 to 16 mm. There is a provision provided for
the white meal coating — surface conditioning — over the pellets.
7.3.1.5 Rotary Feeders
Thus the pellets formed in the noduliser drum will be fed into the kiln through
rotary feeder. This is imported equipment. This rotary feeder can be moved up
and down and also left and right side by operating the controller. The nodules
will be distributed uniformly in the kiln.
7.3.1.6 Vertical Shaft Kiln
These nodules are thus distributed uniformly in the kiln and the kiln is kept
changed to a constant level and operates continuously. The material is first dried
in the enlarged upper portion and then falls slowly to the narrow portion.
Decarbonisation takes place at about 950 ° C and the final burning of the clinker
21
takes place at 1450 ° C. The clinker thus formed will be cooled in the lower part of
the kiln before it reaches the discharge gate.
The clinker is discharged through a rotary grate and a discharge gate.
7.3.1.7 Rotary Grate
By adjusting the speed of rotation of the grate, the amount of clinker discharged
and thus the rate of burning can be controlled. The type of grate is flat grate.
This grate consists of 6 segments of opening size 95 x 95 mm,
7.3.1.8 Discharge Gate
The discharge gate is provided with a triple gate air lock mechanism to prevent
loss of drought and production of dust. The discharge is automatic and the parts
of which are actuated hydraulically. The rotary feeder, discharge gate
mechanism and the king shaft assembly are all imported equipment and their
total cost is approximately one crore.
7.3.1.9 Blower
The air required for combustion is supplied by means of 2 blowers driven by 75

kw motors. One blower will be always running at constant speed and delivering
air at the rate of 125 Nm 3 /min constantly. The other blower is driven by a viable
speed motor, whose quantity of air can be varied from 26 Nm 3 /min to 100
Nm 3 /min. The air requirement for this VSK (at DCB) is 187 Nm 3 /min.
7.3.1.10 Cement Mill
Thus the clinker formed in VSK will be fed into the vibrating screen I. From there
this will go to clinker yard through vibrating screen II. This clinker will be fed in to
the cement mill hopper by means of EOT crane. Clinker and gypsum will be fed
into the 3 compartment tubular mill where these materials will be ground and the
output of this mill be fed into the cement silos through flexo pump. Earlier Dalmia
Cement (Bharat) Ltd, provided a clinker crusher underneath the discharge gate
and now they removed it since there is not much of lumps.
The flow sheet of 200 tpd VSK of M/s Dalmia Cement (B) Ltd is shown at Fig.
7A.
7.4 Tiny Cement plants
In India, any industry for which the cost of plant and machinery does not exceed
Rs 1,46,00,000 comes under the definition of `Small Scale Industry (SSI)' and is
offered certain concessions. Keeping this primarily in view, certain individuals /
small organisations have downscaled the VSK technology so as to offer such
plants under the SSI. Such plants are in the size range of 5 to 20 tpd and are

popularly known as Tiny Cement Plants. In this direction, an individual called Mr.
D.P. Saboo of Jodhpur in Rajasthan has put in considerable efforts, and has put
up about 25 nos. of such tiny plants; most of these being based on high grade
limestonne deposits in the state of Rajasthan. The investment cost in such
plants have been brought down by resorting to in-house fabrication of machinery
as well as by elimination of certain equipment from the process line and resorting
to manual operation.
However, unfortunately, the tiny cement plant concept in India has taken a
dangerous turn with a large number of other individuals/spurious organisations
having entered the field of fabricating and supplying these plants, which are in
fact poorly copied version of certain proven technologies without the provision of
requisite technical back-up. This has already resulted in setting up of a few such
tiny cement plants, which have since become sick and have discontinued
production.
Brief Process of Manufacture of Portland Cement from Saboo VSK Tiny Cement
Plant is given below.
Limestone, Breeze Coke, Clay (Red-burning clay of Village Potters) and other
additives, as required, are crushed and stored automatically in different silos,
wherefrom they are again taken out in the desired proportions by a weigh-
batcher. They are further conveyed to a pre-blender and the blended materials
are thoroughly ground in an open-circuit Ball Mill to form homogenized Raw
Meal, from where it is conveyed through an elevator to blending silos and later to
a storage silo. This raw meal is subsequently lifted to the hopper of a noduliser,
where nodules are formed.
These nodules travel downwards into the kiln through a Rotary Chute and find an
access to the pre-heating zone followed by calcinations and clinkering zones,
wherein drying, pre-heating, calcining and sintering take place, leading to
conversion of nodules into clinker. This clinker, as received from the kiln through
the cooling zone, is subsequently mixed with gypsum in suitable proportion for
further grinding in the cement mill to produce the finished product, i.e pure
Portland Cement.
The flow sheet of Saboo VSK Tiny Cement Plant is shown at Fig. 7B.
7.5 J & K Cements, Wuyan
This 60-tpd plant is based on Lurgi Sinter Grate Process. This requires use of
light diesel oil as a fuel in addition to the low volatile coal already contained in the
nodules. The cement production at the plant has never exceeded 55% of the
installed capacity. The cost of fuel is as high as Rs 700 per tonne of clinker.
Apart from the high cost of production, the plant also finds it difficult to cope with
frequent breakdowns and quite involved maintenance is required due to
complicated machinery. The electrical energy consumption per tonne of cement

produced is as high as 208 Kwh. The heat consumption per kg of clinker
production is also as high as 2404 Kcals.
Although the quality of the cement produced by this process is 'reported to be

meeting all the specifications well, the working of the plant and its profitability has
all along been headache for the plant management. Due to the above
constraints, the plant management has ultimately decided to discard the
complete sinter grate system and have placed an order for CRI — Modern Vertical
Shaft Kiln along with the necessary balancing equipment to replace the existing
system. This clearly shows that the sinter grate technology has failed to be a
techno-economically viable solution for the manufacture of cement in small scale.
Since the above plant is not in operation for the last 1 1/2 decades and also the
equipment are obsolete in nature, plant is not able to provide data in this regard.
7.6 Small Rotary Kilns
Use of small rotary kilns has been adopted by many countries for cement
manufacture in small scale by downscaling the conventional rotary kilns. In
India, there are about 31 nos. of rotary kiln based mini cement plants under
operation and about another 5 nos. under implementation; most of these being
designated as 200 tpd in order to derive incentives offered by the Government of
India in terms of rebate in excise duty (which has since been discontinued) and a
free market. However, most of these plants are using kilns of 3 m dia and 40 or
45 m length — which under Indian conditions are rated as 300 tpd. One of the
major reasons for this has been the fact that the machinery
fabricators/consultants did not find it technically appropriate to further reduce the
kiln dimensions in view of anticipated problems relating to higher refractory
failure.
Thus, although a few mini cement plant based on the rotary kiln technology have
been set up in India as well as other countries of the world, mainly because of
the reason that this technology is a direct down-scaling of the conventional rotary
kilns which are technically well established, the cost of production and the
investment cost per annual tonne of installed capacity in such plants are found to
be exceptionally high due to the scale effects. Moreover, if one attempts to make
these small rotary kiln plants economically viable, then certain process and
operations have to be eliminated and the degree of sophistication of
instrumentation and process control systems would have to be lower which
would amount to sacrificing some of the modern features which are essential for
satisfactory performance and economic operation. Due to the inherent techno-
economic disadvantages of mini cement plants based on rotary kiln as compared
to those based on Modern Vertical Shaft Kiln — like higher investment cost,
higher operating cost, higher energy consumption, higher pollution etc; the
Government of India, as a matter of policy, is not encouraging any further setting
up of mini cement plants based on rotary kiln technology.

8.0 TYPES OF MINI CEMENT PLANTS IN CHINA
China uses minor variations in the process with the vertical shaft kiln technology.
There are some plants which use black meal process as in India, there are
others which use semi-black meal process in which only a part of the total coal
required is interground with the raw meal and the balance is added in coarse
fraction later prior to nodulisation. Some plants use compound mineralizers also
for lowering the firing temperature. Different types of discharge grates have been
used in the vertical shaft kiln, like roller grate, flat grate, conical grate,
reciprocating grate etc. Non-mechanised kilns use stationary grate. Since the
Chinese plants, because of this design and operational features, emit sizeable
amounts of dust, dust collection equipment like electrostatic precipitators, bag
filters, etc. is being installed. The smallest and the largest sizes of mechanized
vertical shaft kilns in China have diameters of 1.7 metres and 3.6 metres
producing about 35 tonnes per day and 300 tonnes per day against design
capacities of 45 tonnes per day and 380 tonnes per day respectively.
A number of mini cement plants in China have been facing problems of non-
uniform cement quality, poor management and operational skills, higher cost of
production, high heat consumption, environmental pollution, etc. The
Government of China has therefore decided to slowly disband the old non-
mechanised plants numbering about 2000 and take up modernization of those
plants which can produce cement of good quality through mechanization (at the
rate of about 300 plants a year).
9.0 TYPES OF MINI CEMENT PLANTS IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN INDIA

AND CHINA
Although the latest information regarding the exact number of mini cement plants
operating in different parts of the world are not available. Table 3 shows a global
survey of vertical shaft kilns under operation in different countries.
So far as mini cement plants based on CRI -MVSK technology are concerned,
M/s. Penden Cement Authority of Bhutan, have installed a 50 tpd CRI -MVSK
plant at Gomtu and later expanded it to 100 tpd by installation of another 50 tpd
CRI -MVSK line. One more cement plant of M/s. Lakhi Cements Pvt. Ltd. 100
TPD CRI -MVSK cement plant installed at Gomtu, Bhutan. One mini cement
plant of 160 TPD capacity based on Vertical Shaft Kiln of size 2.4 metre dia and
8-metre height supplied by M/s. Loesche, West Germany is already under
operation at the works of M/s. Himal Cement Company, Nepal. Another mini
cement plant of 30-tpd capacity based on CRI -MVSK is presently in operation at
Anboo-Khaireni in Nepal. This plant purchased 100 TPD (2x50 TPD) CRI -MVSK
cement plant of Penden Cement Authority and expanded upto 200 TPD.

M/s. Loesche of West Germany have supplied more than 14 mini cement plants
based on black meal VSK process in more than nine countries. The first multiple
VSK plant supplied by M/s. Loesche had gone into operation in 1955 at the
cement plant of M/s. Portlandzemtnfabrik Blaubeuren Gebr. Spohn Ag at
Blaubeuren, Germany. Later on M/s Loesche have supplied plants based on
VSK to various countries like Japan, New Zealand, Austria, Spain, Italy, Nepal,
Brazil, Madagascar and Indonesia. In the latest design of 400 tpd (2x200 tpd)
plant at Kupang in Indonesia, pre-blending techniques for controlling of the
variation in quality of limestonne and clay were employed. Different fuels of
various mixtures have been used at Paggau ranging from anthracite dust to coke
breeze and petrol coke, the application of which in all the cases have been
reported to be a success.
In addition to above, M/s Maerz Ofenbau of Zurich also supplied mini cement
plants based on VSK technology on turnkey basis. M/s. Maerz are the exclusive
licencee for the manufacture of Prerov machinery designed mini cement plants
with as many as 16 cement shaft kilns operating in different parts of the world.
The heat consumption in these plants is claimed to be about 900-Kcal/Kg clinker.
10.0 OPERATION OF A CRI -MODERN VERTICAL SHAFT KILN
As already explained, in the black meal process, the cement raw materials are
interground with the fuel and the resultant raw meal is blended and then
converted into nodules of sufficient uniformity, strength and porosity in an
inclined disc type noduliser by the addition of required quantity of water. The
nodules are fed to vertical shaft kiln where the pyroprocessing takes place.
10.1 Before Lighting up
The kiln should be checked for

a) Rotary Grate: The grate segments and crown with cutter teeth should be
intact and in position. A full revolution should be given to the grate to
ensure it does not touch lining plates anywhere.
b) Lining plates should not be loose.
c) Refractory Lining: The lining must be checked and repaired wherever
necessary. If the thickness of lining in burning zone gets reduced below
80mm, it must be replaced.
d) All starters/main switches of the electrical installation should be checked
whether they are all in working condition.
e) Roots Blower. In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations,
oil must be checked. Filters must be cleaned. The weights in the safety
valve are to be adjusted to suit to the anticipated kiln bed resistance.
f) Chimney's dampers, rotary feeder, kiln hood doors, discharge gates must
be checked for their mechanical operation and lubrication.
29
g) All the flanges of the kiln, bottom hood cup, chutes, discharge gates etc.
should be properly sealed so that the combustion air does not leak
through the gaps between the joints.
10.2 Lighting up of the Kiln
The kiln should be filled with either the clinker already manufactured, or
limestonne chips or brickbats upto a level of 1-1.5 metres from the conical
portion. Care should be taken that the material is dust free and while filling the
refractory lining is not damaged. In order to remove the dust, the roots blower
has to be run for about 15 minutes after every 1-metre depth of new material is
loaded or better if the blower is run continuously while the kiln is loaded with the
chips or clinker. After-every 2 metres depth of new material has been loaded, the
grate is set in motion, to ensure that the material is moving down the shaft
evenly. Above this material, about 100 kg of dry firewood is now stacked
uniformly over this bed in two or three layers. The chimney damper has to be
opened partly and the air by-pass valves/ball valves are to be kept open in the
kiln air duct. The firewood so spread would be lighted up using torches and after
an incandescent bed is formed, steam coal is charged into the kiln. There will be
an uniform incandescent bed of fire after few minutes. Now charging of the
nodules can commence. One should refrain from adding a new charge of
nodules until the edges of the fire can be just seen. When the bed level reaches
to about 50 cm. below the conical portion, the discharge gate is to be operated
slowly.
10.3 Normal Kiln Operation
Stabilised kiln operation as obtained after the initial lighting up may now be
continued under the following instructions:
1. Uniform discharge rate should be maintained as far as possible by

adjusting the grate speed whenever necessary.
2. The nodule size, feed rate and bed level must be maintained.
3. The bed should always be covered with the nodules by continuously
feeding them on a circle some distance away from the refractory lining so
that the nodules themselves distribute both over the periphery and in the
centre. A glowing ring on the periphery and continuous steam emerging
from the centre of bed indicates good fire and good combustion
conditions. The temperatures of various zones should be periodically
recorded.
4. It is necessary to ascertain frequently that the entire bed is descending
uniformly. This is ensured by cleaning the sides frequently with the help of
a rod with flattened tip. While cleaning the sides, care must be taken not
to damage the refractory of kilns.
5. Once the kiln is stablised neither the process parameters nor the raw mix
composition should be changed frequently.
M
10.4 Kiln Controls
10.4.1 Feed
Strict controls should be observed on the preparation of feed right from the raw
material stage. The table feeders/weigh feeders should be monitored
periodically so that the component ratios conform to the values for raw mix
design. Blending operation is carried out till a uniform blending with the desired
T C content is obtained. The T C in raw mix should not vary beyond ± 0.20% of
the desired value.
The nodules should be checked for appropriate size, porosity, moisture and
strength on hourly basis. The feed rate and discharge rate should be
synchronised to maintain constant bed level.
10.4.2 Combustion Air
The combustion air can be regulated by adjusting the valve on by-pass pipe.
The measurement is done with the help of two instruments provided on the
burner's platform; one from the orifice plate to give combustion air flow and the
other connected at the bottom for measuring the pressure at the inlet to the kiln
which gives an idea of the bed resistance. If during a normal operation both the
instrument readings are constant, the burner should understand that the kiln is
filled with properly burnt clinker. In case the inlet pressure varies the burner gets
indication that the bed resistance is varying and necessary corrective action
should be applied.
10.4.3 Discharge Rate
Under stabilized operating conditions, the discharge and feed rates should be
synchronised to maintain constant bed level. If there are too big lumps or too
loose a clinker near the grate, the discharge rate will fall or increase. Depending
on the case, immediately the grate speed is to be changed; otherwise the bed
level would rise or burning zone would collapse destroying the entire kiln
operation in next few hours. Intermittent discharge is not desirable. The rotary
grate speed should not be abruptly changed and it should be done gradually step
by step.
10.4.4 Temperature
A normal kiln operation is also judged from, in addition to the above, the
temperatures of flue gases, clinker, burning zone, cooling zone and also of the
kiln shell from outside. The temperature of the kiln is judged from the
thermocouple based temperature indicators and also crosschecked by touching
the kiln shell around periphery at various heights to feel the uniform temperature
gradient. The desired temperature profile for a VSK is shown in Fig. 8.
31
10.5 Kiln Disorders
10.5.1 Bridging
When the clinker produced is so lumpy that it does not contain any loose
material, there are chances that the lumps form a bridge and rest over the sides
of the conical portion of kiln resulting in rise in fire bed. In such a case the feed
should either be slowed down or stopped and air reduced. The bed should be
given some disturbance in clearing the sides and poking from burner's platform.
If necessary the roots blower should be stopped and then the feed. The bed
should be able to descend with some effects. The cause should be investigated
and the process parameters immediately rectified in order to avoid repetition of
this.
10.5.2 Side Discharge
Sometimes if the clinker produced is suddenly too loose it would pass through
the bigger lumps and get discharged quickly. Even red-hot yellow nodules
(clinker) may discharge representing that at a certain position there is no bed to
support the burning zone. The burning zone seems to collapse and loose fire. In
such a condition, the grate speed should be reduced or it should be stopped, to
reduce discharge for some time and the burning zone built up slowly even though
the level may rise. The discharge may be reduced till the trouble is overcome.
The underburnt clinker may be separately stocked and appropriately blended
with the good clinker at the time of grinding after ascertaining a suitable
proportion. The kiln process parameters should be immediately attended to.
This may be a result of maintaining the bed level too low inside the cone.
10.5.3 Lump Formation
Sometimes a big lump may be noticed in the burning zone, which is very strong
and as big as kiln internal diameter. This may not descend. This generally
occurs due to melting on account of a very high temperature there. The raw mix
composition should be immediately examined and feed should be accordingly
corrected. The fuel with low ash fusion or too much of fuel will cause this. The
lump so formed should be broken with poking rods and grate speed should be
adjusted to ensure its descent. At the same time too much poking should be
avoided. The lumps that descend though big, give no trouble as they would get
crushed and discharged as soon as they reach the rotary grate.
10.6 Operational Optimisation and Training with Simulator
Achieving the rated output at high and consistent quality clinker is the real task
for the burners. For this all the input parameters are to be maintained at an
optimum level and the kiln operations should be monitored continuously. Even a
32
slight disturbance to any of the input parameters for a short duration will
destabilize the steady state and disturb the entire process.
In this connection, understanding the interdependency of the input parameters to

the other operational and process parameters in a quantitative way is very much
essential for the process optimization of the kiln. CRI -MVSK simulator is an
extra-ordinary powerful tool for imparting training to the plant operating personnel
in the quickest way possible without causing any damage to the plant, machinery
or process and can also be utilized for optimization of CRI -MVSK plant operation,
including optimum Raw Mix Design and proportioning almost at the flick of a
button.
The CRI -MVSK Simulator is a device, which shows the working of complete
vertical shaft kiln section of a cement plant without any physical connections to
the plant, wherein all the inputs, the process as well as the output are
electronically generated within a computer. The simulator through a specially
developed software programme simulates the actual operating conditions of a
vertical shaft kiln cement plant on an ordinary desktop IBM-PC compatible
computer. A mimic diagram of the vertical shaft kiln section of a cement plant is
displayed on the computer screen with all values of process parameters, which
keep on changing with respect to time just as in an actual plant. The operator
can adjust or change any process parameter as per his wish and see the effect
of the same on the plant operation. All the disturbances normally encountered in
the kiln operation either due to changes in raw materials / fuel quality and / or
improper operation can be created on the simulator and the operator can be
trained to effectively deal with such situations. Working on CRI -MVSK simulator
does not require any knowledge of working on a computer terminal or computer
programming.
The simulator consists of a colour graphic monitor, which shows the live mimic of
the nodulizer — vertical shaft kiln section. The operation data on vertical shaft
kilns based on CRI -VSK Technology are given in Table 4.

13.0 FIELD STUDIES
Indepth study was conducted at 8 VSK mini cement plants including identification
of sources of air pollution (stack & fugitive), stack emission monitoring,
constituent of flue gases in terms of 0 2 , CO2, CO and N2 etc, pollution control
technology adopted, annual operation and maintenance cost, water requirement
and ambient air quality monitoring.
Most of the VSK mini cement plants are not equipped with pollution control
devices in all the sections due to the involvement of capital cost especially in
Saboo and RRL VSK mini cement plants. A few CRI -MVSK cement plants of
higher capacity are only having pollution control devices in all the sections of unit.
Many VSK mini cement plants are closed except the plants located in Jammu &
Kashmir and North Eastern region.
The study was conducted at 2 VSK cement plants in Andhra Pradesh and 6 VSK
cement plants in Rajasthan. The indepth studies conducted in all the 8 VSK mini
cement plants are given in the subsequent paragraphs.

The above plant is put up in order to utilize the slag generated by their steel
plant, situated in the same premises. The quality of granulated slag generated by
their steel plant is as per Bureaau of Indian Standards. The slag consumption
was upto 50% depending upon the quality of clinker produced.
The specific thermal energy consumption is 900 K.Cal/ Kg of clinker and

specific electrical energy consumption is 110 Kwh / tonne of cement.
Actual production from VSK (average) on the day of monitoring was 85 TPD.
13.1.2 Manufacturing Process and Flow Sheet
CRI — MVSK technology is based on the black meal process in which all the raw
materials, viz, limestonne, clay, fuel (coke breeze, Jhama coal or any suitable
low volatile coal) and other corrective materials are ground together to a fineness
of 10% retained on 170 mesh as in dry process and intimately blended to satisfy
the chemical requirements for the raw meal. The homogeneous raw meal is
formed into nodules of the desired size by adding water in a pan nodulizer and
fed into the vertical shaft kiln through a revolving feed hopper. As the material
passes down the kiln, it is dried, heated and then burnt into clinker. The clinker is
then cooled and discharged from the kiln by a rotary grate at the bottom of the
kiln through a triple airlock discharge device or gamma ray controlled material
Block Tube (MBT). The combustion air to the kiln, which is provided by a Roots
blower, also serves the purpose of cooling the clinker and thus avoids wastage of
heat. The clinker then passes on to a cement mill where it is ground with about
5% gypsum to produce cement of standard quality.
Flow Sheet of Plant - I is shown in Exhibit — 2.

To study the effect of different raw materials proportions on clinker quality and
particulate matter emissions, using the same quality raw materials and only
changing the raw mix design (RMD), stack emissions were measured.
The present RMD had been changed to new RMD having following Modulii
values and increased liquid content which is given below:
SM AM LSF %LC
1.55 0.66 0.88 36.88
When the material with new RMD was fed to the kiln, the quality of clinker was
improved, the stack emissions were observed as given below:
Stack Emission Data with New Raw Mix Design
a) Stack dimension (m) : 1.2

b) Stack cross section area (m 2 ) : 1.131
c) Flue gas temp. (°C) : 84
d) Flue gas velocity (m /sec) : 3.31
e) Flow rate (m 3/hr) : 13436
f) Particulate Matter Emission (mg/Nm 3 ) : 95
g) Emission rate (kg/hr) : 4.00
Thus, it is observed that if the kiln is fed with proper nodules of optimum RMD
and proper process parameters are strictly followed as per the norms, particulate
matter emission from VSK is well below the stipulated norms.

Particulate matter emission: 50 mg/Nm 3
15.0 DUST COLLECTION SYSTEMS
Particulate matter, commonly called dust, is the primary emission in the

manufacture of Portland cement. For the control of dust, the Cement Industry
employs the following dust collectors.
i) Gravity settling chambers

ii) Cyclones
iii) Fabric filters
iv) Wet Scrubbers
The basic mechanism of removing particulate matter from gas stream may be
classified as:
1. Gravitational Settling
2. Centrifugal Impaction
3. Inertial Impaction
4. Direct Interception
5. Diffusion
15.1 Gravity Settling Chambers
Gravity settling chambers will always be of importance for pre-cleaning of high

dust laden gases. They work on the principle of removing dust by reducing the
67
velocity of gas (or) air stream. The gas is directed from the dust generating
equipment into the large volume settling chamber, where the velocity drops low
enough to let large dust particles drop out by gravity. Dust settling chambers are
sometimes equipped with deflectors, to charge the direction of gas flow and so to
shorten the settling path of particles, improving collection efficiency. Because of
the simple construction, gravity-settling chambers are the lowest in cost, but at
the same time also the least effective dust collection devices.
The efficiency of gravity settling chamber 4 30 — 70%

The gas velocity in the settling chamber 4 100 ft/min
The pressure drop 4 0.2 — 1.0 mmWG
Schematic of gravity settling chambers for dust removal is shown in Fig. 8.
15.2 Cyclones
15.2.1 Operation
A cyclone consists essentially of two sections: a cylindrical and a conical one. At

the top of the cylindrical section the gas enters tangentially and spirals along the
walls downward into the conical section (outside vortex); from here it starts to
occupy the center space of the cyclone, and spirals upwards (inside vortex) to
the outlet. Centrifugal forces push the dust particles towards the wall where they
accumulate and descend down by gravity as well as under the influence of the
outer vortex. Most of the particles fall down to the bottom into a hopper from
where they are removed by rotary valves (or) screw conveyors. The ascending
gas vortex represents the clean gas, but it always contains a certain amount of
fine particulates. The Inside Vortex occupies only a small part of the cyclones
cross-section, and along its axis there is the so called neutral sector; if the size of
this sector is large, then a considerable amount of dust is taken away with the
escaping gases. From this it results that the longer distance a dust particle has
to cover for reaching the boundary gas layer, the less particles are separated in
the cyclone; therefore it can be said that the efficiency of cyclone is inversely
proportional to its diameter.
Diameter (inches) 9 16 24 124

Efficiency 96.7% 92.6% 88.2% 57.5%
Cyclones are low cost dust collectors, without moving parts, and can be
furnished with refractory linings for high temperature upto 1800°F.
The pressure drop of cyclones is in the range from 1.2 to 6.5 inches water
column and depends on
- The temperature of the gas;
- The size of the cyclone; and on
- The inlet velocity of the gas.
Design proportions of a cyclone dust separator are given in Fig. 9.

15.2.2 Maintenance
Operational problems in cyclone are more due to process factors rather than
constructional aspects. Some of the operational problems in cyclone are given
below.
i) Plugging of cyclone either in inlet duct, cyclone body or in exit duct.
Plugging of inlet duct can occur when dust agglomerates due to fineness
or presence of moisture particularly when temperature falls below due
point of gas. Plugging of cyclone body occurs when hopper is plugged
and dust level rises in cyclone.
ii) Erosion in cyclone is caused by impingement and rubbing of dust
particles on cyclone wall due to high dust loading, high inlet velocity and
coarse dust particles.
15.3 Multiple Cyclones or Multicyclones
Multicyclones are enclosed units arranged in banks for parallel flow with feed gas
from a plenum chamber and with a common dust discharge hopper; multicyclone
units can contain upto 400 individual cyclones.
Efficiency of Multicyclones 4 85 — 94%

Pressure drop 4 5 — 7 in of water column
A disadvantage of multicyclones is plugging of small tubes.
Longitudinal section of multicyclone for dust collection is given in Fig. 10.
15.4 Fabric Filters
Particle collection in fabric filter is based on several collecting mechanisms

including inertial impaction, interception, diffusion and gravitational
sedimentation. Generally, inertial impaction, interception and diffusion
mechanisms are important for particles below one micron. Gravitational settling
and filteration by the packed bed of accumulated dust on the surface of filter
media are decisive factors for coarse particles.
The pressure drop across the fabric filter is about 100-125 mmWG and the
collection efficiency is as high as 99.99% depending on the type of fabric used. It
is a constant efficiency dust collector and minor variations in process parameters
affect the performance of fabric filter. Bag house filter media and cleaning system
constitute basic components of the fabric filter.
Fabric filter systems typically consist of a tubular bag or an envelope suspended

or mounted in such manner that the collected particles fall into a hopper when
dislodged from the fabric. The structure in which the bags hang is known as bag
house. Generally, particle-laden gas enters the bag at the bottom and passes

through the fabric while the particles are deposited on the inside of bag. Large
bag houses are constructed with several compartments, so that one
compartment may be isolated for cleaning as needed while the other
compartments are operating. The bags should be arranged in each
compartment provided for dust collection and the dust is removed by rotary or
screw valves. The cleaning mechanisms can be mechanical shaking system,
reverse air cleaning system or high pressure pulse jet cleaning system. The
cleaning may be accomplished by shaking the bags or by increasing the air
pressure on the bag in a manner that causes the bag to collapse or otherwise
deform sufficiently to dislodge the accumulated dust.
The following advantages makes the fabric filters the best choice in many cases.
i) Very high efficiency

ii) Retention of finest particles
iii) Collection of particulates in dry form
iv) Relatively low pressure drop
Some of the disadvantages using fabric filters are:
i) Their large size

ii) High construction cost
iii) This application only to process temperature generally below 285°C
iv) High operating costs
The main operational problems of fabric filters are:
- Variation in filtration velocity

- Gas temperature below due point causing clogging of bags
- Variation in pressure drop
- Improper gas flow distribution in various compartments
- Cleaning system and its operation
- Flow control systems, inlet ducting, fans etc.
- Fire and explosion hazards.
Schematic diagram of typical bag house is given in Fig. 11.
15.5 Wet Scrubbers
15.5.1 Operation
The basic function of wet scrubbers is to provide contact between the scrubbing
liquid, usually water, and the particulate to be collected. This contact can be
achieved in a variety of ways as the particles are confronted with so called
impaction targets — which can be wetted surfaces or individual droplets.
Whether the particles encounter wetted surfaces as in packed Scrubbers or
individual droplets as in spray scrubbers, the basic mechanism are the same as

MECHANISM

74
in filters; inertial impaction, interception and diffusion. Generally impaction and
interception are the predominant mechanisms for particles of diameter above 0.3
µm, and for particles of diameter below 0.3µm, diffusion begins to prevail. In
addition, diffusiophoretic deposition and electrostatic precipitation also effect
particle collection. Diffusiophoretic deposition can be significant when mass
transfer within the scrubber, caused by condensation of water vapour from the
gas onto a cold liquid surface, exerts a force upon the particles and causes them
to get deposit on the surface.
There are many scrubber designs presently available where the contact between
the scrubbing liquid and the particles is achieved in a variety of ways the major
types are
i) Spray Towers
ii) Centrifugal scrubbers
iii) Packed beds and plate columns
iv) Venturi Scrubbers
Each type of design has a certain range of applicabitty. Thus low energy
scrubbers such as spray towers are most often used to handle particles largely
about 5-10 µm in diameter.
The effectiveness of the conventional spray tower ranges from 94% for 5 µm
particles to 99% for 25µm particles.
Schematic diagram of spray tower is given in Fig. 12
15.5.2 Advantages of Wet Scrubber
- Simultaneous removal of gases and particulates

- Effective performance over a wide loading range
- Equipment occupies only a moderate amount of space compared to
dry collectors such as bag house
- Hazards of explosive dust-air mixtures are reduced
- Indifference to the temperature and moisture content of gas
- Corrosive gases may be neutralized by proper choice of scrubbing liquid
15.5.3 Disadvantages of Wet Scrubber
- Relatively high energy cost

- Problem of wet sludge disposal
- Corrosion problems
- Visible wet plume, reduction in buoyancy
- Very small particles (sub-micron sizes) may not be captured.

16.0 SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
16.1 Introduction
Pollution control aspects are being given increasing attention in recent years.
Mini cement plant is basically air polluting industry. Air pollution, which basically,
can be caused by both particulates and gaseous pollutant, the CRI — MVSK
cement plant operation ensures negligible emission of the latter such as NO etc
as optimised operating conditions of the kiln generally prevents emission of such
gases. The generation of particulates, however, is inherent in the manufacturing
process and the associated unit operations, which is controlled by the application
of dust collectors wherever required. The operation of vertical shaft kiln, which is
the heart of process, is such that less emission takes place as the shaft kiln itself
acts as an effective filter.
16.2 Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process involved in the VSK mini cement plants essentially
consists of the following steps:
• Mining and crushing of limestonne (and additives, if necessary) ;
• Proportioning of raw materials and fuel based on raw mix design;
• Grinding and blending to obtain fine homogenised black meal;
• Preparation of nodules ;
• Feeding the nodules to vertical shaft kiln wherein the drying, preheating,
calcining and sintering takes place resulting in the formation of clinker;
• Clinker cooling in the kiln;
• Grinding of clinker and gypsum in controlled proportion to produce ordinary
portland cement;
• Storage, packing and despatch of cement.
16.3 Dust Generation Sources
The various dust generation sources are given below:
16.3.1 Mining
Mostly mini cement plant sector does not have its own captive mines. They buy
limestone mostly from other agencies. Wherever captive mines are there, mining
is generally carried out manually. The level of dust generation during drilling /
blasting and loading of limestonne is generally low. Dust suppression techniques
such as water spray are generally found adequate.
16.3.2 Crushing and Raw Materials Proportioning
In crushing section, generally combinations of primary and secondary crushers

are used for size reduction. Various raw materials, i.e. crushed limestonne, clay,
riA
coke breeze, additive are stored in hoppers. These materials are extracted from
individual hoppers and are conveyed to the raw grinding section. A single
cyclone/fabric filter is mostly used to collect dust from both the crushing as well
as raw materials proportioning section and sometimes separate dust collectors
for these two sections are also recommended depending on the specific
situation.
16.3.3 Raw Material Grinding
Depending upon the raw material characteristics, air swept ball mills or vertical
roller mills are usually employed for the intergrinding of raw materials and fuel. In
both the cases, cyclones and fabrics filters are used to keep the emission low.
16.3.4 Raw Material Blending and Homogenising
The ground raw meal is blended and homogenised pneumatically in blending

silos. The generated dust is collected in fabric filters to ensure low emission.
16.3.5 Kiln Section
Raw meal is extracted from the noduliser feed hopper and is fed to noduliser
where water is also sprayed to form nodules. In order to collect dust from
noduliser a fabric filter is used.
The system design and the technology used in the CRI - Modern vertical shaft
kiln (CRI - MVSK) have adequate in built provision to restrict dust emission from
chimney. This is a unique feature performed by the MVSK, which in addition to
clinkerisation also reduce the dust generation significantly. The green bed of
moist nodules, which are constantly distributed on the top by the rotary feeder,
would trap most of the dust particles and only allow gases into the stack. In fact
when CRI — MVSKs are operated as per the norms and procedures, the emission
levels are very much within the stipulated norms. In addition, the principle of
natural draft, which is employed in the system, further ensures very little
entrainment of dust particles and even the small particles which may get into the
gas stream, would settle down on the bed due to gravity as the velocity is very
less in the stack.
Whilst, in general the operational experiences have proved that the kilns based
on CRI — MVSK technology do not pose any problem in regard to dust emission,
a dust collector of simple design has been developed by NCB which has been
successfully installed in CRI — MVSK cement plants. The flue gases from the
VSK is made to pass through the dust settling chambers, wherein the dust
particles get settled in the chamber, the dust so collected can be re-used in the
process.
7a
16.3.6 Clinker Handling
Clinker discharged from MVSK through triple air lock discharge gas / material
block tube is crushed in a jaw crusher. Clinker and gypsum stored in separate
hoppers are extracted to feed to the grinding mill. A fabric filter is used to collect
dust from discharge gate / material block tube, clinker crusher and clinker and
gypsum extraction points beneath their respective hoppers.
16.3.7 Cement Grinding
In mini cement plants based on CRI -MVSK technology, generally open circuit
tube mills are employed for cement grinding. The mill works on overflow
principle and the product is directly conveyed to the storage silo. Fabric filters
are used to facilitate dust collection to ensure very low emissions.
16.3.8 Fugitive Emission
Specific instances of fugitive dust generations include dust blown by wind from
raw materials stockpile, dust caused by vehicular traffic within the factory, dust
leakage from conveyors, conveyor transfer points, silos, storage hoppers and
packers etc. Good house keeping, proper maintenance, wetting of dusty areas,
use of enclosed storage wherever feasible etc would eliminate fugitive dust.
17.0 GUIDELINES TO CONTROL THE DUST EMISSION

As a guideline suggested air pollution control devices for various sections of
VSK based mini cement plants are given in Table 36, subject to compliance of
emission standards.

may explore the possibilities of other devices also. The important thing which
is to be kept in mind is that in all the cases the plant has to meet the
prescribed emission standards.
