Solar-Powered Container Used in Ecuadorian Cement Plants

4 FAQs about Solar-Powered Container Used in Ecuadorian Cement Plants

Which cement plant is used for solar thermal application?

Location and DNI availability of the investigated plant A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application.

Will Cemex & synhelion develop fully solar-driven cement production?

Cemex and Synhelion have made significant progress in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production. They have scaled their technology to industrially-viable levels, enabling the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement manufacturing, using only solar heat.

Can solar energy be used in cement manufacturing?

Gonzalez and Flamant (2013) designed a hybrid model that uses solar and fossil fuel energy to fulfill the thermal energy requirement for cement manufacturing. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) is a potential replacement for 40%–100% of the thermal energy needed in a conventional cement plant.

How calcined meal is used in a solar cement plant?

Solar cement plant operation during the day with a solar multiple (SM) > 1. Once more, the storage or conventional calciner makes up the difference between the generated calcined material and the design point. After the solar reactor achieves its optimum value, the calcined meal is immediately provided for the subsequent process.
