Aalborg Portland Cement awards solid recovered fuel contract to Geminor

Written by Global CemFuels staff
26 November 2020

Denmark: Norway-based Geminor says that it has secured a 120,000t solid recovered fuel (SRF) supply contract with Aalborg Portland Cement. Under the terms of the contract, the company will supply the producer with 40,000t/yr of SRF from 2021 until 2023, with an option for another two years. As a result, Geminor subsidiary Geminor Waste Treatment has invested Euro1.50m in establishing a new SRF production line in Aalborg. The company said, “full capacity for deliveries will be in place” in early 2021.

Geminor Denmark country manager Kasper Thomsen said, “We are very pleased to extend our cooperation with Aalborg Portland Cement, which has been running for several years already. This agreement entails a significant increase in volumes and constitutes a natural development of our collaboration.” He added, “Together with Aalborg Portland Cement we will sort, design and "fine-tune" a waste fraction that meets strict requirements regarding chlorine, biomass and other content. A goal in the long run is to create a good replacement for both petcoke and coal, and thus deliver in line with existing climate goals and the recent Danish waste regulations.”

Lafarge Zementwerke appoints A TEC for Mannersdorf cement plant alternative fuels Flash Dryer installation

Written by Global CemFuels staff
24 November 2020

Austria: Loesche subsidiary A TEC has won a contract for the supply and installation of a Flash Dryer for alternative fuels (AFs) in the kiln line of Lafarge Zementwerke's 1.1Mt/yr Mannersdorf cement plant in Lower Austria. The supplier said that it will complete the project in early 2021.

The company said, “Reaching high thermal substitution rates (TSR) requires firing of alternative fuels at the kiln burner. To reach a stable sintering zone for the required clinker quality a high fuel quality (high LCV, small particle size) is needed, otherwise the clinker quality may suffer or the TSR can be limited. With the A TEC Flash Dryer various waste heat sources can be used (clinker cooler flue gas, bypass gas, preheater gas, etc.). The material is dosed to the hot gas flow in the flash dryer and transported with this gas flow, while the moisture is evaporated, to a cyclone and a subsequent filter where the fuel is separated from the gas flow and on-line fed to a kiln burner or a satellite burner. In addition to the drying the lifting effect of the gas can separate 3D impurities which contributes in a further increase of the fuel quality.”

Entsorga offers optical sorting machine to Saturno research project in Italy

Written by Global CemFuels staff
19 November 2020

Italy: Waste management company Entsorga has offered a prototype near infrared technology (NIR) separator to the Saturno research project into manufacturing organic waste and CO2 into biofuels, bio-fertilisers and biochemicals. The scheme brings together 25 partner organisations, including cement manufacturer Buzzi Unicem. The prototype sorter will be used by Gaia, a waste management company based in the Province of Asti, to sort residual plastics and to remove polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fractions with higher chlorine content. Plastics that cannot be reused will then be passed to cement plants as an alternative fuel.
