Revealing the numbersbehind calcined clay

Clay is a naturally occurring material found almost everywhere aroundthe world with the potential to replace 30 per cent of the energy intensiveclinker. But how does the calculations look in terms of fuel- and powerconsumption. We did the math.

One of the great benefits of calcined clay is that it activates at a much lower temperatures of 750 to 850 C instead of 1400 to 1500 C and much lower cost for grinding and handling you gain significant fuel and power sawings 30% and 40% respectively.

Reasons to use calcined clay to reduce your clinkerfactor 

 

·         Up to 40 per cent CO2 emissions reduction pertonne of cement

 

·         30 per cent reduction in power consumption pertonne of cement

 

·         40 per cent reduction in fuel consumption pertonne of cement

 

·         Increase productivity without increasing emissions

 

·         Worldwide availability

 

·         Maintain cement quality with much-reducedenvironmental impact

 

·                  Technology is proven and available now, with low ROI and low OPEX
