How will the cement plant of the future be? - 1

How will the cement plant of the future be? Have you wondered how cement plants will be in the future? For those of us in this industry it is crucial to know what changes there will be, because it may depend our survival, professional success or failure. This is my opinion about the future: 1. Key Performance Indicator. - During the next 20 years CO2 emissions will be the most important thing in the operation and design of a cement plant factor. This demand will come not only from international organizations related to climate change, in this case the customers, government and community will require that "the cement plants be green". 2. Plant Capacity .- Today cement goes so far as demand, production costs and transport permit, in the future they will be based on the kg CO2/kg Cement. In order to decrease the CO2 generated by transport, plant size will depend on the demand for cement in a radius no greater than 300 km. (With some exceptions). 3. Level of Automatization .- In order to compete on cost and reduce emissions, in less than 10 years, the operating efficiencies of all plant equipment shall be of at least 95%. This means that all areas will be fully automated and that the level of maintenance should be excellent. 4. Standardization of Equipment .- During the next 10 years large cement companies will standardize all equipment, possibly in 4 plant sizes: 4, 6, 8 and 10 kton Clinker. This will allow them to reduce their costs and inventory levels of spare parts.

5. Plant areas. - Plants will be divided into three major areas: Cement Production, Control of CO2 emissions and renewable electricity generation. 6. Control of CO2 emissions. - Over the next 10 years, efforts to reduce CO2 emissions will be concentrated on: reducing the calorific consumption, the use of alternative fuels and the production of cements with additions. In 2020 other types of cement and CO2 neutral technologies will appear. By 2030 50% of the plants will be 100% green. 7. Generation of green electricity. – The efforts of the next 10 years will focus on reducing electricity...
