Bulletin: Gas Cooling And Conditioning In Cement Manufacturing

Cement plant customers all have the same basic need — the quick and efficient cooling of gases to lower temperature and reduce volume. Increasing production, minimizing maintenance outages and reducing energy costs are top priorities for users of both wet and dry processes. The use of alternative and low-grade fuels makes effective gas cooling even more complicated.

Effective gas temperature control, gas volume reduction and humidification are best achieved by evaporative spray cooling. There are other options, but they are not as efficient or as effective as spray cooling. In fact, the recent introduction of high-efficiency air atomizing nozzles and turnkey systems has made spray technology an even better solution than it was before.
