The project investigates the existing 1st generation oxyfuel technology and an innovative 2nd generation oxyfuel concept with the ultimate goal of reducing CO₂ avoidance cost, increasing plant efficiency and strengthening the overall competitiveness.
EMSARZEM analyses the processing and utilisation of waste incineration ashes, which are produced during the thermal recycling of municipal waste.
The subject of the research project is the fine-tuning of dry cement raw materials. The focus is on the influence on the electrical energy requirement during the comminution of the raw material and the thermal effects on the subsequent clinker burning process, caused by a changed raw meal granulometry.
AI applications or machine learning applications such as soft sensors or assistance systems for production controllers represent promising solutions for process control and optimisation. However, this requires robust AI applications that do not jeopardise the operational safety of the complex production facilities in the cement industry.
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.
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.
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.
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.
