Saxlund Group to present European cement industry case studies at Global CemFuels Conference

09 February 2018

UK: Saxlund Group will present a number of case studies covering its experiences supplying alternative fuels and bulk handling systems for cement plants in Europe at the upcoming Global CemFuels Conference taking place in Berlin. Its references include a complete end-to-end solution for one of the UK’s largest cement kilns, incorporating the reception, storage, transportation, screening, weighing and pneumatic injection of solid recovered fuel (SRF). Other project experience includes secondary fuel-handling solutions for CBR Cement in Belgium, plus a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facility for LafargeHolcim at the company’s plant in Höver, Germany. The company will also be explaining some of the issues encountered when handling modern alternative fuels and how to ensure full plant availability with minimal downtime.

The company will also be explaining its design approach for minimising storage and transfer issues for what can be sticky and challenging materials, including SRF, RDF and other biomass fuels. A key focus will be on activated silo discharge solutions and conveying equipment with an emphasis on ‘First in, first out’ design principles to minimise compaction and material conglomeration. Key technologies covered will include the company’s leading Push Floor and Sliding Frame solutions, bucket elevators and enclosed chain conveyors, plus integrated screening, weighing and dosing solutions.

RePower South uses Bulk Handling Systems to build waste processing plant in South Carolina

31 January 2018

US: RePower South (RPS) has started building the Berkeley County Recycling and Recovery Facility, a mixed waste processing plant. The turnkey recovery system will be provided by Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) under an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) agreement with Barnhill Contracting Company. When production begins in early 2019, the Moncks Corner, South Carolina plant will process 50t/hr of mixed waste sourced from Berkeley County to recover recycled commodities and a fuel feedstock.

The plant will use a BHS FiberPure system, consisting of BHS screens, NRT optical sorters and Max-AI autonomous quality control units to remove unwanted fractions to produce an end product with minimal manual sorting. Non-recyclable fibres and plastics destined for fuel will undergo further filtering by NRT SpydIR optical sorters equipped with MetalDirector options to remove unwanted contaminants. Max-AI AQCs are also utilised in each sorting position on the container line. In total, the system will use seven NRT optical sorters and nine Max-AI AQCs. In addition, Loesche Energy Systems will provide a Loesche RocketMill for size reduction. The system will also features two Kadant PAAL balers.

22 September 2017

Cyprus: N+P International has extended its solid recovered fuel (SRF) supply agreement with Vassiliko Cement to the end of 2020. The deal also includes an option to further extend the agreement to the end of 2022. N+P has been supplying Vassiliko Cement with SRF from the UK and Italy by sea since 2015.

“This contract is the foundation of a long-term cooperation between Vassiliko Cement, Enerco Energy Recovery and N+P. The parties intend to maximise alternative fuel consumption in the Vassiliko Cement plant, to do so parties recently carried out a trial to co-grind N+P’s Subcoal pellets in the plants coal mills. The first results of this trial are looking very promising and further trials will be done the near future. We agreed not to disclose precise contract volumes, but at present >2500t/week of SRF is shipped into Vassiliko Cement,” said a representative of N+P.

Vassiliko Cement plans to reach a 55% substitution rate of alternative fuels by 2020.

Lafarge Africa raises alternative fuels capacities at Nigerian cement plants

23 March 2017

Nigeria: Lafarge Africa has raised its capacity to use alternative fuels at its Ewekoro 1 cement plant to a substitution rate of 50%. Its Sagamu plant has the capacity to operate a substitution rate of up to 25%. Its alternative fuels sources include locally sourced palm kernel shells, woodchips, tyres and refuse. It is unclear whether or not the plants will be able to make use of this capacity in the near term.

“Our energy optimisation plan has proved successful with increased use of alternative fuel to offset gas shortages. Ewekoro 1 plant migrated from 100% reliance on gas and low pour fuel oil (LPFO) to about 40% use of alternative fuels at the plant,” said Michel Puchercos, the chief executive officer of Lafarge Africa in the group’s results for the fourth quarter of 2016.

The subsidiary of LafargeHolcim plans to use alternative fuels at all of its Nigerian cement plants by 2018. Ewekoro 2 will be utilising alternative fuels, Ashaka will be using alternative fuels and coal and Mfamosing is expected to be using petcoke and alternative fuels.
