ANICA is a research project which serves to develop concepts of the indirectly heated carbonate looping (IHCaL) process for CO₂ capture from lime and cement plants.
The aim of this research project is to extend the technical-scientific basis for reducing the mercury loads in the exhaust gas path of cement rotary kiln plants by sorbent supported dust removal and to show possibilities for optimisation.
The aim of the project is to be able to select operating parameters and catalyst materials in such a way that a maximum reduction performance takes place and the function of the catalysts is not affected. This should enable operators of cement rotary kilns, including many SMEs, to achieve a reduction in organic components without having to expect frequent failures of the SCR plant.
SCI4climate.NRW analyses technological, ecological and economical challenges of an institutional and infrastructural transformation of manufacturing companies in energy-intensive primary industries in North Rhine-Westphalia towards a sustainable climate-neutral industry by 2050.
As part of the research project, the German cement industry is to be provided with a utility model of a new type of apparatus for quasi-continuous incoming inspection of SRF deliveries. Based on a fast, technically robust and efficient characterisation of flight capability, humidity and optically detectable features of SRF, a system shall be developed, constructed and tested in practice.
The core concept of the research project is to generate the maximum amount of electrical energy from the process exhaust gas during the production of cement clinker without affecting its kiln capacity or clinker quality. The electricity generated should cover the base load requirements for the cement production.
The aim of ECo project was to utilise CO₂ for co-electrolysis SOEC in combination with electricity production from renewable sources for storage as methane presented an interesting approach to handling CO₂ emissions from the cement industry in a future sustainable energy system.
The aim of the research project was to identify those fuel particles which potentially cause the greatest disturbances and to determine their rate of conversion in the flame and in the clinker bed. A further goal was to derive quality criteria for AF, to elaborate recommendations for the optimisation of fuel feeding systems and to develop a tool to estimate the suitability of an AF.
