Energy Saving projects initiated at Chanda Cement Works
1. Installation of Water spray system in downcomer duct
Inconsistency in Kiln Operation eliminated by installation of Water spray system
PH false
air
reduced
from 12%
to 6%
• Down comer duct water spray @ 10m3/hr in each string, to reduce PH O/L temperature to the level of 230 oC
• Consistent AFR consumption and Kiln feed during Raw mill and Coal mill stoppages as gas temperature is
maintained.
• Better control of Preheater fan and RABH Inlet Temperatures to avoid tripping of Calciner firing resulting in kiln
disturbances.
2. Synchronization of Walking floor with CBC to avoid fluctuation in AFR Feed & to
control high CO in the system
BEFORE AFTER
3. To control high CO in the system Mixing of Biomass with RDF
Advantages:
• Enhanced flow ability of
material
• Reduction of Jamming issues,
Thus eliminating CO high
issue.
• Reduction of variations in Cl in
AFR feed
• Minimised moisture
