Source: Adapted from Holcim, 2012–2013. Steam cycles are, by far, the most common waste heat recovery systems in operation in cement plants.
In another Chinese case, Tianjin Zhenxing Cement Co, Ltd. reduced specific energy consumption by 7.0 kWh per ton of cement by installing a combined roller press and ball mill grinding system in a 2,400 ton per day cement production line. For an annual production of 900,000 tons, this provides a saving of around 6.3 terawatt-hours per year.
Energy savings of between 0 and 6 kWh are reported, depending on the existing plant configuration, the type of cement, and the fineness required. 63 Worell, Galitsky, and Price, Energy Efficiency Improvement Opportunities for the Cement Industry. Source: Gebr.
