FLSmidth to install its first Waste Heat Recovery System in India

The 8.4MW power generating system is based upon steam Rankine cycle technology. Excess hot gases from the preheater and the cooler will be processed into usable power, thereby reducing the dependability of the plant upon the Government supplied power. FLSmidth's WHR system is capable of meeting the power demands of any cement production plant while at the same time reducing its carbon footprint and saving water; all at no extra fuel costs.

National governments all over the world are introducing more and more legislative mandates, tax initiatives and subsidies to encourage manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprints. By delivering its first WHR system to the Indian market, FLSmidth manifests itself as a supplier of this technology to the Indian cement industry.

The Waste Heat Recovery system delivered to Vicat Sagar Cements will be integrated with their new pyro line, which is also supplied by FLSmidth. The WHR system is expected to be operational by mid 2012.
