Presentation
Commissioning one of the largest coolers in the world
FLSmidth Cement commissioned a 11,500tpd Cross-Bar® Cooler at a cement plant in India – one of the largest coolers in the world. This presentation will highlight the specifics of this project, including the operational context, the challenges encountered with a project of this size, and the successful results achieved. We will also share information about the unique characteristics of the Cross-Bar Cooler to demonstrate how it enables high recuperation efficiency alongside highly efficient cooling – both key to a more energy efficient pyroprocess. The purpose of this paper is to showcase the performance benefits and the environmental advantages of utilising advanced cooling technology and in particular what can be achieved at this scale.
