From August 30th to September 2nd, PROMECON will be present at ESTAD 2021, the European Steel Technology and Application Days in Stockholm, Sweden.

PROMECON CEO Hans Conrads will talk about "Operational cost reduction through special technology of air and gas flow measurement with McON Air IR" at 31th August, 4 PM and will then be available to all interested parties for questions and answers. We are looking forward to exciting new contacts and a successful event. Make an appointment for a face-to-face meeting and look at our Website to find out more here

Yes, there is an alternative to clinker that is not only sustainable but also efficient.

"With the cement industry´s goal of working towards saving the planet, FLSmidth proposes a simple for up to a 40 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. In this article, the company outlines why the move is not only smart and efficient but is something almost every cement manufacturer could do right now." (Ref: International Cement Review, August 2021, P:42)

Clay is a naturally occurring material found almost everywhere around the world. With the right treatment, it makes a perfect SCM and can be used to replace up to 40% of the clinker in your product. With our clay calciner system, you maximize your returm on investment. With lower capital costs as compared to e new clinker line, you get an energy-efficient process that delivers a high-quality product and can maximize your substitution rates.

Our CEO Hans Georg Conrads and Technical Sales Support Alexander Halm, will show you the main parameters of the transient mill operation and how to measure and control them. We will look at air flows and coal mass flows in and out of the mill during abrupt load changes. We will look into the delta Pressure over the mill as well as heat consumption at steady versus the dynamic load. And we will look at how to use all this data in conjunction with a state controller in order to predict and control even hidden values of a mill such as the internal coal masses on the grinding table. With this knowledge and the right instrumentation and controls, you will be able to enlarge the operational envelope of the mill whilst keeping the mill more stable. On the outlook, the impact of better mill controls towards the rest of the plant controls is briefly discussed such as the better match between coal and airflow into the boiler during transients. Optimized synchronization of feed water pump and better use of condenser pumps during load jumps.

Sustainabile manufactoring is at the core of our mission at PROMECON.

In the last months, we developed McON Air IR, a flow measurement system that provides the following benefits:

• Unique measurement system for high temperature applications
• McON Air IR measures the air velocity directly and is calibration free
• The measurement principle is digital, reliable and absolutely drift free
• Direct gas-flow-measurement at the process outlet of EAF, BOF and lignite furnaces without additional flow by water quenchers
• IR sensors are non intrusive and have no wear, long operation intervals without cleaning
• Enables mass and energy balance to optimize energy intensive processes
• Enables mass and energy balance for mill state controllers
• Reliable control and optimization of dedusting sites results in direct savings of fan power
