Understanding and streamlining the general cement process is crucial for efficient operations. Once you identify where your bottlenecks are, you can begin to optimize or even digitalize your process to maximize efficiency and output. But where do you start?
Achieving Process Understanding and Optimization
A plant audit is an essential first step. It provides valuable information about heat and mass balance through strategic measurements of temperatures, pressures, and concentrations of oxygen, CO, and NOx. This "housekeeping" and digital readiness check enables you to make data-driven decisions to maximize your process potential.
Real-World Application
In July, Matthias Schumacher, Director of Cement Technology at aixprocess, in cooperation with Artem Kozinet, successfully conducted such a plant audit for a Secil plant in Maceira, Portugal. The audit provided valuable insights into the general process and offered guidance on how to optimize and digitalize operations.
