| Abstract | A generalized model to assess the thermal performance of any
cement industry has been developed. Energy auditing has been
carried out in a specific cement plant in Indonesia and the
various data obtained from the different units are analyzed by
using the developed software. From this simplified mass and
energy balance mode l, the kiln system performance and the
breakdown of different losses are obtained by using the principle
of the first and the second law of Thermodynamics. Thus energy
conservation opportunities have been identified, analyzed and
recommended. For this particular case, even though the plant
management is energy conscious and has already implemented
measures for improved system performance, the possible savings
from the recommended measures can be at least US $ 80, 000 per
year based on the analysis for 1988. Even higher savings are
possible by incorporating good energy management measures,
especially in the domain of electricity management. |
