FLSmidth receives first HOTDISC order on the Indian market
FLSmidth has received its first order for a HOTDISC on the Indian market. The order for a HOTDISC along with an alternative fuel feeding system is placed by Vasavadatta Cements for their Unit III at Sedam and is an important order for FLSmidth as this HOTDISC project is going to be a first of its kind in India.
At Vasavadatta Cements' Unit III, the FLSmidth supplied low NOx In-Line calciner kiln system already has provision for a HOTDISC. The HOTDISC is a safe, simple and effective combustion device that maximizes the substitution of fossil fuels by alternative fuels in a controlled and environmentally sound manner.
The system to be supplied by FLSmidth consists of the latest generation HOTDISC with FLSmidth triple flap sluice as well as complete receiving, storage, dosing and transportation system for shredded- and whole tires. A specially designed feeder system along with belt conveyors will be supplied for handling and transporting both shredded- and whole tires simultaneously to the HOTDISC.
This system will enable Vasavadatta Cements to feed 3.5 tph of tires and replace approximately 30% of the coal fired in the calciner with alternative fuels.
