There has been a significant evolution in power semiconductor devices from small, low power devices to very high capacity devices. As a result, multi-megawatt range adjustable speed drive (ASD) systems are increasingly being used not only in the global cement industry but others such as oil & gas, mining, water/wastewater, and power generation. In a modern cement plant, Medium Voltage (MV) ASDs are used on ID fans, kilns, separators, finish mill, ball/sag mills, conveyors, & pumps. A new generation of regenerative medium voltage adjustable speed drives are being applied that not only deliver motor control but also can inject reactive…

Most natural gas production and exploitation sites are considered to be hazardous area. This is certainly the case when it comes to Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) sites. It is vital to avoid creating any areas, within the sites, in which the atmosphere contains flammable gas. The need to comply with stringent safety and environmental regulations and the associated cost and constraints associated with compliance, need to be factored in, when calculating a site’s profitability. Natural gas is a natural resource present on the earth, which can vary in composition depending on the location of its extraction. In order to maximize…

CEMTEC® – For extreme conditions The CEMTEC® gas sampling system has been developed for continuous flue gas analysis in cement kiln inlet chambers and in other extremely dusty high-temperature processes. Increasing the efficiency of pyro processes and ecological sustainability are global requirements and an be implemented with CEMTEC®. CEMTEC‘s® superior design accommodates the increased trend to use alternative fuels. These advantages have been confirmed by Enotec’s customers: Decreased ammonia consumption due to improved SNCR efficiency Reduced fuel consumption due to higher combustion efficiency in the rotary kiln and in the calciner Lower emissions due to reduced fuel consumption and continuous emissions monitoring Higher refractory…

At any industrial plant, well site or offshore platform the detection of flammable and/or toxic gases and vapour and their potential ignition is a critical activity. But navigating the evolution of detection technology, finding the optimum system to protect people and property isn’t a simple task, particularly since no single system or technology is the solution to every application’s problems. The following addresses the fundamental choices available in detection and possible combinations of technologies that may solve problems while protecting lives and property. The vulnerabilities of any one detection solution are offset by the strengths of the others when utilizing…

Operational instrument uptime and non-ambiguous measurement values are key aspects of in-line dissolved CO2 measurement systems installed in breweries and carbonated soft drinks facilities. The integrity of wetted sensor parts and instrument air supply are basic requirements for ensuring measurement data is always reliable. An undetected failure of the sensor can lead to costly damage of the instrument, false CO2 readings, and wasted product. This paper describes how an intelligent, automatic sensor protection feature increases measurement system performance. Challenges for plant operatorsMonitoring and controlling dissolved CO2 concentrations in critical process steps helps ensure consumers experience the sight and effervescence of…

Why are we talking about optimizing dairy production? Because Milk represents the most important segment in the food market and as a drink, it is the most consumed product among dairy products, followed up by butter and cheese … Milk and milk derivatives are considered an essential part of a balanced diet and various governmental bodies recommend drinking milk or eating dairy products and cheeses, so global consumption does nothing but grow. This growing consumption puts pressure on the manufacturing industries that must implement more efficient production processes, while always keeping in mind the concepts of Quality, Safety and Hygiene.…
