CONCLUSION: Based on the assessment, it can be concluded that the clinker line has the potential to produce 6,000 tpd, which may be achieved by de-bottlenecking/ optimization of process parameters and minor up-gradation in the equipment. The expenses for de-bottlenecking/ optimization and improvement measures envisaged to produce 6,000 tpd clinker is estimated as Rs 1,500 Lakh. With increase in production to 6,000 tpd, plant key performance parameters namely Specific heat consumption is expected to reduce about 4-5 kcal/ kg clinker and Specific power consumption is expected to reduce about 0.5 kWh/t clinker. Saving in fuel and power shall also help in reduction of CO2 emission. Based on assessment of clinkerisation section, total annual clinker capacity of Durg Cement Plant of JKLC of 1.98 mio tpa clinker (6,000 tpd) is feasible with proposed de-bottlenecking/ optimization measures. JKLC, hence, may reckon the plant clinker capacity as 1.98 mio tpa.

Table 4.8: Kiln & Cooler Assessment

HOLTEC Assessment: Kiln � At the clinker production level of 6,000 tpd, expected kiln operating load works out to be

402 kW, leaving 100% margin over installed capacity 805 kW. Generally, a design margin of 75 - 100% is considered in the rating of installed motor over required operating power. The purpose is to take care of high torque needed during start - up and abnormal situations like ring formation, ball formation, fall of coating, etc. This margin will be about 100 % if the existing drive of rating 805 kW is continued to be used for a production level of 6,000 tpd clinker. Hence the kiln main motor rating is adequate.

� Degree of filling preferably 12-16% is suggested. The degree of filling at the current kiln design RPM of 5, works out to 15.6%, which is closer to the limit. Hence, kiln rpm is proposed to be increased upto 5.5 by changing gear reduction ratio through modifications in gear box internals.

� Specific thermal loading works out to 5.1 Gcal/hr/m2, which is within the acceptable value of 5.5 Gcal/hr/m2

� Specific volumetric loading works out 7.3 tpd/m3, which is within the peak recommended loading and is manageable.




17326 4.7

Cooler

� The specific cooler loading works out as 50 tpd/m2, which is higher than acceptable industry norms (< 45 tpd/m2). Higher thermal load leads to high wear and tear of the cooler internals and high clinker cooler discharge temperature.

� Installed cooling air at 6,000 tpd production works out as 1.76 Nm3/kg clinker, which is lower than the recommended 1.9-2.0 Nm3/kg clinker.

� Considering current operation with WHR, cooler operation at 6,000 tpd clinker production appears manageable at cooler loading of 50 tpd/ m2. However, the cooler operation needs to be reviewed on regular basis in this scenario.

� However, for most efficient operation and minimum wear & tear specific cooler loading needs to be reduced from 50 tpd/m2 to < 45 tpd/m2, by addition of one module in consultation with OEM. For extension of module following modifications are expected:

� Extended module foundation shall start from DPC tunnel bottom

� Roller crusher drive need to be relocated towards water spray tank

� Water spray system needs to be relocated.

� ESP discharge arrangement need to be relocated

� DPC vent filter & its fan need to be relocated

For the above actions, approximately 4-5 weeks downtime may be required.

� Last two fans may be replaced with higher capacity fans to increase the cooler installed air to around 1.9-2.0 Nm3/kg clinker.

4.3.3 Assessment of PH, PC, Kiln Feed & Clinker Pan Conveyor The details of assessment of PH, PC, kiln feed and DPC capacity have been given in Table 4.9.

� There is aspect of WHR as well, as JKLC has installed 8 MW WHR based power plant. The higher cooler loading will lead to higher cooler vent temperature, which will get trapped in the WHR system once WHR is running and the higher heat loss will be recovered in terms of power through WHR.

HOLTEC Assessment: � From the above assessment of cyclone loading, PH Cyclones sizes are adequate for

operation at 6,000 tpd.

� The gas velocity in Riser, Down-comer duct, TAD and the gas residence time in PC have been estimated at 6,000 tpd and found within the permissible limit.

� The pan conveyor capacity has lesser margin of 32% over the required capacity which is lower than the specified norm and is considered manageable at 6,000 tpd.

� The kiln feed bucket elevator capacity has no margin and needs upgradation/ replacement.

The Kiln feed bucket elevator rated capacity is 302 and operating at 390 tph at a speed of 1.86 m/s. The elevator speed is already at its maximum, any up gradation by increasing the speed further does not appears to be feasible. Since margin in kiln feed system is already exploited the same needs to be upgraded/ replaced by a new kiln feed bucket elevator of 510 tph capacity.

4.3.4 Assessment of Kiln and PC Burner The assessment has been done based on 715 kcal/kg clinker of sp. heat consumption, fuel NCV of 5,788 kcal/kg fuel, fuel firing rate in kiln as 35% for 6,000 tpd clinker production. The details of assessment are given in Table 4.10.

Table 4.16: Raw Mill Assessment




17326 4.13

The raw meal residue is subject to adjustment depending upon the burnability of raw meal and the current residue level being maintained in the plant operation is 15-16% on 90 µ. Hence, the design mill output becomes 475 tph at 16% residue on 90 µ which is adequate to meet the requirement of 6,000 tpd clinker plant and no constraint is foreseen. HOLTEC Assessment: � Raw grinding technology selected is from a reputed supplier, efficient from maintenance

and power consumption considerations.

� Raw Mill with guaranteed figure of 400 tph @ 12% R on 90 µ installed in the plant is operated at an output of 475 tph @ 16% R on 90 µ and is adequate for a 6,000 tpd clinker plant.

� Material transport system deployed is mechanical system- energy efficient.

� Environment control is through Bag Filter, suitable for maximum permissible dust emission of 30 mg/ Nm3.

� For sustained operation, mill optimization is proposed

4.3.11 Assessment of Coal Mill Coal mill design capacity : 25 tph petcoke @ 3% residue on 90 µ

: 50 tph coal @ 12% residue on 90 µ Plant is using mix fuel namely Pet coke and Coal. The fuel mix is pre-dominantly having Pet coke of 30% followed by 70% Coal. Hence, the mill for fuel grinding has been evaluated based on Mix fuel usage for capacity assessment purposes. Clinker Capacity

HOLTEC Assessment:

� Limestone constitutes about 95% of raw material requirement and its transportation to plant is through truck. However, quantity/ frequency of dumpers for transport of limestone to crusher and subsequently to plant shall be suitably increased. JKLC is in the process of constructing a pipe conveyor which after the completion would eliminate the need for trucks.

� Similarly, JKLC shall develop railway siding in future eliminating the need for truck for transport of fuel. Considering 3,500 t carrying capacity rake, there would be requirement of 1 wagon in every 4 days for a 6,000 tpd plant and 1 wagon in every 6 days for a 4,500 tpd plant. Thus, additional 19 wagon load shall be required on annual basis in transport of coal.

� For transport of other raw materials such as silica sand, pond ash, flue dust would require additional 4 truckloads on daily basis (1,320 truck load on annual basis)

CONCLUSION:

Based on the above assessment, it can be concluded that the clinker line has the potential to produce 6,000 tpd, which may be achieved by de-bottlenecking/ optimization of process parameters and minor up-gradation in the equipment. The expenses for de-bottlenecking/ optimization and improvement measures envisaged to produce 6,000 tpd clinker is estimated as Rs 1,500 Lakh. With increase in production to 6,000 tpd, plant key performance parameters namely Specific heat consumption is expected to reduce about 4-5 kcal/ kg clinker and Specific power consumption is expected to reduce about 0.5 kWh/t clinker. Saving in fuel and power shall also help in reduction of CO2 emission. Based on assessment of clinkerisation section, total annual clinker capacity of Durg Cement Plant of JKLC of 1.98 mio tpa clinker (6,000 tpd) is feasible with proposed de-bottlenecking/ optimization measures. JKLC, hence, may reckon the plant clinker capacity as 1.98 mio tpa.
