Technical FAQs 4

Can solar clinker be used for cement production?

For the first time ever, CEMEX and Synhelion successfully connected the clinker production process with the Synhelion solar receiver, producing solar clinker. This revolutionary innovation is an initial step to develop fully solar-driven cement plants.

How a solar cement plant is designed?

Solar cement plant was designed based on cement production and the Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) data available at plant location. Total thermal energy and the amount of land needed for the solar cement factory were analysed. Additionally, total mirror surface, number of heliostats, and land requirement are estimated.

Which cement plant is used for solar thermal application?

Location and DNI availability of the investigated plant A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application.

Can a solar cement plant run continuously?

There is no way that a solar cement plant can run continuously throughout the whole solar day. Therefore, several assumptions/constraints and modifications are considered and included in this model. The model is considered a solar calciner, constructed and tested at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
