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 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.
Separate ultra-fine grinding of cement - Energy-efficient grinding meets optimised cement and concrete properties. Today, future-oriented cements can already be produced more sustainably and efficiently by using various components of different finenesses.
ACCSESS takes a cross-sectorial approach to CO₂ Capture, Transportation, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), working with Pulp and Paper, Cement, Waste to Energy, and Biorefining, all industries with big potential for carbon dioxide removal.
The aim of the project is to investigate Machine Learning models for the characterisation of alternative fuels in the cement production. For this purpose, a public-accessible database (with fuel characteristics and images) is set-up and different machine learning models will be trained on that data, the algorithms will be tested on their robustness and suggestions for the classification of the fuel quality and its visualisation in the control room will be made.
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.
In the AiF project EVCAZ, the energetic and material utilisation of wastes containing carbon fibres is to be demonstrated on an industrial scale in a cement plant. The central tasks are the evaluation of the conversion success of the CF fibres, the recording of the resulting emissions and the consideration of influences on the process and the clinker quality. The findings obtained are summarised to assess health and environmental risks and to answer questions relevant to approval as a decision-making aid for cement plant operators.
Ziel des Projekts ist es, ein Softwaremodell zu entwickeln, das eine Anlage und bestehende Werksprozesse ganzheitlich abbildet. Mit dem Tool soll es möglich sein, neue Teile in die Anlage zu integrieren und deren Auswirkungen zu untersuchen.
