Thailand: ThyssenKrupp Polysius says that it has successfully supplied and installed a Prepol SC alternative fuels (AF) system at a 12Mt/yr cement plant in Thailand. The system will supply the plant's four lines with 4000t/day of AF.

ThyssenKrupp Polysius' Asia Pacific CEO Lukas Schoeneck said "Asia Pacific, with its tremendous municipal solid waste (MSW) problem, is ideal when it comes to replacing coal with AF. The Prepol SC technology significantly reduces the need to treat MSW before using the inherent calorific value. Additionally, it helps to further reduce the ambitious CO₂ limit targets in the region."

South Korea: ThyssenKrupp Polysius’ Asia Pacific division has won an order to supply a Prepol SC type step combustion chamber for an unnamed cement plant in South Korea. The scope of the contract includes engineering, mechanical equipment and some modifications to the preheater tower. The commissioning of the system is planned for the end of 2023.

Regional chief executive officer Lukas Schoeneck said “The current turbulence on the coal market create a lot of pressure in cement plants to significantly increase the efforts on alternative fuels. Especially when talking high thermal substitution rates and lower quality alternative fuels, combustion chamber technologies connected to the calciner – like the Prepol SC - are the most suitable solution in the cement industry. Congratulations to the colleagues in Germany and in Asia working on this project.”
