Various solutions, tailored to factors like piece size, flow capacity, feed rate, and pneumatic conveying feasibility, can be considered from delivery to burner. In cement production, caloric energy needs dominate costs. While traditional fossil fuels persist, significant savings are attainable through secondary or alternative fuels, including industrial or household waste, which may vary in coarseness, such as:
Other waste will be finer and generally lighter :
These materials, typically having poor flow properties, will be stored in suitable silos equipped with:
To mitigate dust and occasional odors from these products, the entire handling process, including extraction, metering, and conveying, will occur within a sealed enclosure. This approach aims to prevent harmful emissions and minimize the risk of explosions.
