Ensure Quality, Compliance & Efficiency with Precision Gas Analysis. Testo 350 Portable Emission Analyzer Optimized for the Cement Industry
Monitoring and optimizing cement production
Worldwide, no material is used more for building than cement – and the demand is increasing daily. Accordingly, supply is growing, and the competition on the market is becoming tougher. As a result, impeccable product quality as well as time- and cost-efficient production are of crucial importance. On top of this, numerous environmental protection regulations must be adhered to.
The use of the most modern measurement technology, such as that of the testo 350, is thus indispensable.
The challenge
Testing furnace atmosphere
In cement production, three main areas of use for the monitoring and analysis of occurring emissions can be defined.
Testing furnace atmosphere in brick production
In this area, average temperatures of 1,100 °C to 1,300 °C are reached. In addition to this, concentrations of 2 Vol. % O2, max. 500 ppm CO and approx. 1,000 ppm NO are to be expected. A possible site for recording these values can be at the rotary furnace exit, for example. Here it is easy to establish whether incorrect air intake occurs between the pre-heating input and the pre-heating exit.
Testing furnace atmosphere in the pre-heater
In the core process of cement production, the raw material is passed down through a cyclone tower, where it is treated with hot process air from the opposite direction in order to drive out the CO2. At the exit from the pre-heater, measurement values of 700 °C, 3 Vol. % O2, 500 ppm CO and 400 ppm NO are to be expected. Daily measurement of these parameters is recommended.
