D-Pozzolan®️ Calcined Clay Technology: The Unique Approved in the World´s Largest Calcined Clay Production Plant

The production of cement based on the clinker raw material generates a high cost in thermal and electrical consumption for industries, in addition to being one of the biggest responsible for the emission of CO2, one of the main polluting gases in the atmosphere. However, Calcined Clays is a sustainable alternative that will reduce the…

D-Pozzolan®️ Calcined Clay Technology: The Only One Approved in the World´s Largest Calcined Clay Production Plant

IIn April 2019, the Cementos Argos’ new calcined clay production plant started its operation. Located at the Rioclaro site, in Colombia, this line was designed following the D-Pozzolan®️ technology, which involves several patents of Dynamis. Other than the pyroprocessing, the most visible part of the plant, Dynamis took part of the entire project development activities,…

CEMENT KILN BURNERS D-FLAME

Burner designs for modern clinker kilns must fulfil several requirements. Operational flexibility, high durability, low energy consumption, easy tuning, low emissions, and fuel flexibility are some of these requirements to be met. The evaluation of many of these features is straightforward. Generally, the design of a new burner involves the calculation of: flame impulse; turbulence…

The impact of hood assembly

The type of kiln hood assembly can affect kiln operation significantly. Computational fluid dynamics modelling on four different types of kiln hood assemblies in a full-scale cement kiln has shown that clinker bed temperatures can show differences of up to 200˚C. The burner is responsible for providing the thermal energy needed for the clinkerisation process…
