A recent experiment using biomass fuels to fire the kilns at the Lafarge cement plant in Bath was so encouraging, an energy consultant believes the facility could cut its »
Fun Fact »
The biggest hurdle for biomass from dedicated fuel crops is that it isn't an economically viable option yet. We’re looking at ways of finding biomass fuels that are more affordable while we continue to work with our farming partners and support research to reduce production costs even further.

CO2 results from the complete oxidation of carbon containing compounds
- CH4 +2O2 →CO2 +2H2O
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Metals
- What is source of metals?
- Where do metals end up?
- The Three “T”s (and Oxygen)
- Temperature
- 1000 C minimum for Incinerators
- Typical for a 10x faster reaction for every 30-60 C increase in temperature
- Time
- 1 second minimum for Incinerators...
In this session, we’ll cover:
- What are Dioxins and Furans (D/F)?
- Why should I be concerned?
- How are they formed in a cement kiln?
- How can they be minimized?
Condensible particulate matter - CPMTotal particulate matter (all sizes).PM10 – particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter – driven by health effects.PM2.5 – particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter – formed by nucleation of...
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are related to the acid rain problem.When we add volatile organic compounds (VOC) and particulate matter to the mix we have the precursor components of the smog/visibility/haze problem in the...
