🥈 A strong finish to Global #CemFuels2026 in Geneva: our joint presentation was voted second best presentation of the conference. Thank you to everyone who joined the session.👏 tinyurl.com/584xx7wc #globalcemfuels

If you’re in Geneva today, stop by Booth 3 to see what higher TSR can look like in practice, from process modeling to the operating realities of individual kiln lines. lnkd.in/p/d7dFvuAx #globalcemfuels #cemfuels2026 #alternativefuels #cementindustry

When it comes to low-clinker cement, the conversation starts with material selection. From an engineering perspective, process design begins with the production system that will handle them. linkedin.com/posts/cementind… #cementindustry #supplementarycementitiousmaterials

In a #preheatertower, each cyclone separates raw meal from hot gas as material moves downward to the lower preheater and calciner, while hot gas moves upward, transferring heat. This repeated gas path creates a cumulative #pressuredrop across the system. bit.ly/44QdGEv

#BeyondtheBurner: The Fluid Dynamics of Pyroprocessing Efficiency Process stability is built through hundreds of interactions within the #pyroprocess. Understanding how those interactions connect provides a clearer path to lasting improvements. linkedin.com/posts/cementind…

In cement production, the #pyroprocess is where raw meal passes through a sequence of carefully controlled thermal and chemical reactions. Temperature plays an important role, but temperature alone does not determine the outcome. linkedin.com/posts/cementind… #cementindustry

The efficiency of a preheater tower depends on its temperature, cyclone design, and heat recovery. However, the process also depends on how material flows from one step to the next. linkedin.com/posts/a-tec-pro… #cementindustry #pyroprocess #processengineering

Modernizing a #cementplant means working within a structure that has its own history, physical layout, and daily operational routine. The most important aspect of a #brownfieldupgrade is treating the existing configuration as an active blueprint. bit.ly/3SjMniZ

For decades, progress in #cementproduction has been closely tied to new equipment, fuels, and processes. However, some of the most interesting opportunities are found by viewing the plant from a new perspective. linkedin.com/posts/a-tec-pro… #processoptimization #cementpyroprocessing

Inside a #cementkiln, chlorine evaporates largely in the kiln before moving with the gas stream toward the calciner and preheater. At Vicat’s Peille plant in France, A TEC installed a #chlorinebypasssystem that extracts kiln gas directly from the riser. bit.ly/4ufI9a9

The nature of #plantmodernization is revealed under the pressure of annual #shutdown planning. The most lasting #performance gains come from interventions chosen at the right moment and in the right sequence as part of a long-term strategy. bit.ly/4wq8rYX

ReduDust: Turning #bypassdust into a reusable process stream. This article features the #ReduDust installation at Ssangyong Cement’s Donghae plant in South Korea and its integration with the plant's waste heat recovery system. Read the full article here: bit.ly/4dbRBEl

Clay remains inert until reaching a moderate thermal threshold. #Calcinedclay plays a key role in producing clinker-lite cement. Within the #LOESCHEGroup, A TEC and Dynamis combine pyroprocessing and grinding expertise to efficiently process this material bit.ly/3QRR17h

#Alternativefuels link two very different material realities. #Waste streams arrive as mixtures that vary in structure, moisture content, and mechanical response. In contrast, the kiln requires a feed that moves, disperses, and reacts within tight limits. bit.ly/4tF6pCl

Over three decades, the #rotarykiln was central to traditional #cement pyroprocessing, but modern engineering has distributed process stabilization across the system, with key control functions now taking place high in the #preheatertower. bit.ly/4cmLfmo

At first glance, #municipalsolid waste appears chaotic; an unpredictable mix of the discarded. But with the right processing steps, a heterogeneous input can be turned into a uniform #fuel with predictable, controlled combustion properties bit.ly/4vs6HxY #wastetoenergy

Historically, the pyroprocess was managed as a simple sequence of stages. Today, however, a high-performing kiln line operates as a much more integrated system. bit.ly/4mkM1Us #cementindustry #pyroprocess #alternativefuels

From #site assessment to operation, conditions change. Raw materials vary, fuel strategies adapt, and new information becomes available. The difficulty lies in keeping the reasoning behind earlier #engineering decisions connected to these changes. bit.ly/4sxtO8p #epcm

#Fuelflexibility is essential for modern #cement operations, but substituting conventional fuels with high solid fractions impacts system behavior. Introducing #alternativefuels in the calciner alters combustion behavior and reaction kinetics. bit.ly/4bbQkgL

#Temperaturecontrol is key in clinker formation. Reactions above 1450 °C convert the mineral phases of the #rawmeal into clinker. Stable #thermalconditions in this range need precise control of fuel, gas flow, and material residence time. bit.ly/3P8hIDJ
