Keeping kiln carbon footprints low while maximising quality, throughput and energy efficiency

This webinar has now taken place.

Cement manufacturers face regular production losses due to inefficiencies in their production process – like kiln throughput, cement or clinker quality, ammonia cost optimization and energy inefficiencies to name just a few. At the same time they also grapple with another, related challenge: reducing their carbon footprint, specifically regarding NOx and CO2 emissions. Stabilizing and optimizing the kiln is often key to reducing these inefficiencies, but with so many variables it’s a constant juggling act.

Cement manufacturers face regular production losses due to inefficiencies in their production process – like kiln throughput, cement or clinker quality, ammonia cost optimization and energy inefficiencies to name just a few. At the same time they also grapple with another, related challenge: reducing their carbon footprint, specifically regarding NOx and CO2 emissions. Stabilizing and optimizing the kiln is often key to reducing these inefficiencies, but with so many variables it’s a constant juggling act.

Often fixing one problem only exacerbated another. For example, how can you keep throughput as high as possible, while still maintaining a lower carbon footprint and lower energy consumption? There must be a way, since most cement manufacturers do experience periods of high efficiency in all those areas – but hidden inefficiencies are preventing them from reaching their potential.

In this session …

… we will demonstrate how augmented decision-making tools use artificial intelligence to enable process experts and production teams to make the right decisions in real-time, keeping the kiln operating at maximum stability and optimal performance, and thereby significantly reducing losses in quality, throughput, energy and emissions.

Your 3 Key Takeaways:

  • Kiln stability is king! Most cement production losses can be traced to kiln inefficiencies – use data to make those inefficiencies visible to your operators and process experts
  • Augmented decision-making: using Artificial Intelligence to support your operators and the process experts, in real-time, with their process-related decision-making
  • How to achieve high throughput and quality, while keeping energy consumption and your carbon footprint low
