The Burner and Analyser Advantage

The cement industry is a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, demanding high efficiency, precision, and reliability in its operations. A critical component in the production process is the burner system, which directly impacts the quality, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability of cement production. UNITHERM CEMCON, a manufacturer of burners for cement plants, has optimised its commissioning and servicing processes through the integration of Testo gas analysers, known for their accuracy and durability in industrial applications.

Burner design

In the highly competitive field of supplying premium burners for cement plants, Austrian company UNITHERM CEMCON has played a key role in the global market for over 70 years. Working to promote innovation, the company has supplied and commissioned more than 450 firing systems worldwide in the past 20 years, with a product portfolio that includes kiln burners, calciner burners, hot gas generators, fuel supply systems, and accessories.

The company’s commitment to efficiency and manufacturing quality sets new standards across various applications. The innovative designs of their burners like the M.A.S. design, enable optimal performance with a wide variety of fuels, which is essential in modern cement production (Figure 1). As conventional fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil, and gas) are increasingly being replaced by alternative fuels (e.g., biomass, waste-derived fuels, tires and rubber, sewage sludge, and waste oils and solvents), cement plants are adopting strategies to reduce environmental impact and enhance efficiency. This shift not only reduces dependency on traditional fossil fuels but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

However, the use of a broad mix of fuels presents new challenges for equipment suppliers and plant operators. UNITHERM CEMCON’s cutting-edge solutions are designed to meet these challenges, ensuring reliability and efficiency in diverse fuel scenarios, and supporting the industry’s move towards a more sustainable future. A crucial aspect for maintaining high customer satisfaction is the efficient installation and servicing process, for which UNITHERM CEMCON relies on state-of-the-art gas analyser technology from the German company Testo.
