| From process control to quality prediction:
Artificial intelligence in clinkering process control |  |
|
| Cement production is a complex process from blending various natural and synthetic materials through a high temperature process to clinker and cement. The cement industry took off into a digitized future probably a decade ago. Today there are various tools to compile data from sources and detectors in the plant and transfer numeric data to automated procedures for analyses and identification of factors to improve energy management and maintaining quality of the final products. A new important tool will be automated isothermal calorimetry (polabCal) to assess clinker and cement reactivity online. [Photo: Authors/tkIS]

| | To reduce the use of expensive primary fuels like coal and oil in the energy-intensive cement production, operators focus increasingly on alternative fuels and raw materials. BEUMER Group offers tailor-made systems for the entire material flow chain – from receiving and unloading the delivery vehicle to storing, sampling and conveying the materials. For precise and controlled feeding, the system provider has now developed a screw weigh feeder suitable for a variety of materials.

| Lime Industry Roadmap 2050:
Climate positive industry through climate neutral production | |
|
| CO2 avoidance and climate protection are the issues and the central challenges of the 21st century. When it comes to this question, everyone is affected and called upon to act – as individuals, as industry and as society. Everyone has to play their part, and has to start now, to be at least climate neutral by 2050 at the latest. [Graph: BVK]
