Turning waste heat into electricity
The world is in an energy crisis, which is only going to get worse. With the increase in fuel and electricity costs, the cement and lime industries are presented with both a problem, and an opportunity.
With each plant being able to produce 20-30% of its total electricity from its own resources – and around 30% of plants being able to benefit from installation of a WHR system, the benefits of waste heat recovery for the cement and lime industries are potentially huge. According to industry experts, paybacks ranges from three to six years, excluding any government subsidies.
Asia (notably China and India) is well ahead of the rest of the world in the application of WHR in the cement industry and only now is the rest of the world beginning to catch up.
Please allow us to share with you some of our success stories, a system which we believe would be an interest to you for your future plant improvement.
