Análise dos parâmetros dos combustíveis utilizados em fornos de uma empresa cimenteira

Abstract

Due to fierce market competition and persistent improvements in technological innovations and improvement, cement industries worldwide need to seek improvements and optimization of their operational processes to improve their products. This research aims to analyze the parameters of fuels used in kilns of a cement company, evaluating at three levels (ecologically correct, availability and performance). To achieve the proposed objective, a case study was conducted in a multinational cement company. To achieve the proposed objective, a case study was carried out in a multinational cement company. The parameters of ash, calorific value, chlorine and moisture were analyzed, in addition to an analysis with a sustainable bias of the fuels and alternative fuels used in kilns in the production of clinker at the company under study. From the results found in the technical data of the parameters of the fuels used in the factories, it was possible to analyze the quality of the final product in the clinkerization process. The parameter that can be directly related to the quality of the clinker in the process is the calorific value. From the data obtained, it was possible to analyze that both types of fuels (primary and alternative) have high energy power, but the use of a higher percentage of alternative fuel brings technical, sustainable, social and even economic advantages for the study company, evaluated by the quality criterion together of the environmental benefits, also guaranteeing the quality of the final product due to the energetic reach of the process reaching high levels.
