Gas analysis in the cement production is a fundamental and highly rewarding measurement providing many production benefits such as:

• Control of the level of re-circulating volatile gasses in the kiln system preventing condensing of gasses and the formation of sticky raw materials
• Avoidance of uncontrollable coating and ring formation in the kiln causing material build-up and pressure drop
• Prevention of burner stops in kiln and calciner caused by incomplete combustion
• Prevention of safety interlocking of burner and EP-filter
• Optimisation of fuel consumption
• Safeguard of emission outlet
• Burning of waste material
• Control of clinker burning hardness
• No interruption of the coal mill operation
• Prevention of self-ignition in coal mill silo

The payback from these benefits is extremely high supported by the following production improvements:
• Safe production
• Higher clinker production and kiln stability
• Higher clinker quality
• Longer lifetime of kiln and preheater lining with less manual clean-outs
• Lower fuel consumption
• Lower emission outlet and potential emission taxation reduction

Check out the programme of gas analysis solutions which will cover all the measuring applications needed to obtain the listed improvements. As we know that the analysers must work in the aggressive environment of a cement plant, we have integrated our many years of accumulated know-how from the cement industry into the development of a range of unique solutions. Each solution will provide market leading equipment configuration and performance back up from our gas analysis experts and service engineers.
