MAXIMIZING ECONOMIC VALUE THROUGH ENERGY RECOVERY OPTIMIZATION IN CLINKER COOLERS: A FOCUSED CASE STUDY
The manufacturing of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is renowned for its high energy consumption, with energy
costs accounting for over thirty percent of production expenses. Cement industries collectively utilize at least five
percent of the total global industrial energy. Addressing energy inefficiencies in this sector requires optimizing the
pyro system and enhancing energy recovery in the clinker cooler. Various types of clinker coolers, including grate,
planetary, shaft, and rotary clinker coolers, offer potential avenues for improving energy efficiency and reducing
environmental impact. By implementing strategies to enhance energy recovery and optimize cooling processes,
cement industries can mitigate energy losses and achieve greater sustainability
