Horne Srnie, Cemmac
FCT Combustion commissioned a new Turbu-Flex
burner for a clinker kiln at the Horne Srnie plant
in early 2020. The main targets were to increase
alternative fuel firing and to improve flame and
emissions control. The project included the
delivery of the burner, blowers and surrounding
equipment as well as a CFD of the kiln for further
optimisation of the process.
Považská cementáreñ a.s.
Považská cementáre (PCLA) wanted to enhance
the RDF incineration (over 6 tph) which creates
more bypass dust.
Therefore, the whole chloride management
system had to be extended.
Morillon is a company with extensive experience
with the unloading of difficult flowing materials
from flat silos and has several references in this
field.
The company installed a hydraulic unloader to
empty the by-pass dust silo of 8 m in diameter.
The discharge capacity of Morillon’s
HYDRASCREW unloader is 10 to 30 m
3
/h. To
match the requirements of the installation, the
company’s equipment had to be adapted to
high temperature (average 160°C, peak 180°C)
and Morillon also used inox 316L due to the
corrosivity of the product.
The machine is now successfully installed and
is undergoing testing.
Slovenia
Salonit Anhovo
A new crushing plant and associated conveyor
system for transporting material to the blending
bed were commissioned at the Slovenian cement
plant Salonit Anhovo on 27 February 2020.
Production was resumed after only six weeks
– half the time normally needed. This was made
possible by cooperation with the customer.
The new crushing plant had to be completely
integrated into an existing building. A 3D scan
was first made of the building and the subsequent
plant engineering was based on this.
In addition, crusher output was increased from
500 to 800 tpd.
The order included the following machines:
f
One apron feeder, type: RKF2500x13000-D8.
f
One Titan double shaft hammer crusher, type:
70D160.
f
Three chain scrapers.
f
One crusher discharge belt conveyor, type:
BAB2000x10500.
f
Three belt conveyors, incl. magnetic
separator and belt scale.
f
One light weight silo discharge apron feeder,
type: RKFL 1400x4000-D4.
In addition to the delivery of machines, the project
included basic engineering for automatisation
and detailed engineering for required new
steel structures, chutes and engineering for an
intermediate bin.
Salonit Anhovo was responsible for the supply
of the steel structures, local manufacture of
chutes and parts related to machines as well as
the execution of the foundation and assembly
works.
Pre-assembly of the individual machines
took place outside the crusher building while
it was being adapted to accommodate the
new plant. Preliminary and final assembly of
the equipment was handled by the customer
with thyssenkrupp technical assistance at the
Anhovo plant.
Also, to increase the possibility of firing
solid secondary fuel in the kiln with an existing
M.A.S. burner, Unitherm Cemcon delivered one
satellite burner to be installed on a separate
trolley.
Spain
Albox plant, Geocycle
Geocycle has commissioned an XR3000C
shredder supplied by UNTHA Iberica, for use at
its Albox (Almeria) facility.
The machine will now help transform 15 000 tpy
of hazardous solid waste into pre-treated waste
with the right granulometry for coprocessing in
cement kilns.
This ‘co-processing’ is unique as it closes the
loop of waste materials by optimising its use
(energy and mineral content) in the manufacturing
kiln to produce a new material – cement.
The waste treatment firm has a long and strong
experience in co-processing, with the global team
managing over 10 million t of waste – including
MSW, sewage sludge, tyres and contaminated
soils every year, worldwide, on existing cement
production sites.
The new shredding line means Geocycle can
now convert nationally-produced commercial
and industrial waste – including oil/solvent
contaminated textiles, plastics, paper and
cardboard – into co-processing-ready materials
for use at one of LafargeHolcim’s five Spanish
cement plants. Producers were previously
sending these complex non-recyclable wastes to
landfill.
