Cement, Energy and Environment

. ' . '·. By Dr G V K Prasad Executive President The KCP Lid KCP with a long tradition KCP Cement has come a long way from the foundation of the first cement plant in Macherla in 1958 to one of the leading Cement groups it is today. The name KCP Cement stands for competency and quality and it has a strong presence in the south India market. KCP's philosophy is to 'Modernise, lndigenise, Never Compromise on technology'. This has resulted in KCP being one of the largest Industrial houses in India State of Art Cement Plant KCP designed an energy-efficient plant, featuring most advanced Humboldt Pyro System, Pfeiffer Vertical Roller Mills for Raw Material and Coal grinding,. FLSmidth advanced automation and plant instrumentation systems and a fully automated Robot Lab facility capable of sampling and sample transportat ion, preparation and analysis and M/s Schenck Process Automatic Cement Despatch Solution System. In addition. plant has state-of-art process bag filters that combine to keep dust emissions well below 30 mg/Nm 3 . Silencers and noise enclosures have been provided for all noisy equipment. The core equipment supplies include • • • • • • • Hazemag Crusher for limestone Stacker reclaimer for limestone and Coal Raw Mill- Gebr. Pfeiffer MPS 4500B Coal Mill - Gebr. Pfeiffer MPS 2800 Pre-heater - Humboldt Wedag (I) ltd ph 8864- 6 stage Kiln- Humboldt Wedag (I) ltd, 4.2 m x 64m Pyro Step Cooler • Pyro-jet Burner • Two Cement Mills • Two EEL Roto Packer Type -1 6 Rs- 1016J The plant is one of the most modern of its kind in India and can produce 1.52 Million Tonnes of high quality Cement annually. With the state-of– the-art quality control systems throughout the entire production process, you can rest assured the cement will perform consistently in concrete mix designs Responsibility for the environment KCP Cement takes its responsibility for the environment seriously. Environmental protection is a central part of our strategy of sustainability. In this regard, climate protection and conservation of resources are our predominant goals. Taking future pol lution control standards into account, the main process bag filters and nuisance bag fi lters · · n level were designed for an extremely low em1sSIO . of <30 mg/Nm3, the lowest level of emission m any Indian cement plant. We use natural resources · 1 • to lower the specific responsibly and our goa IS C02 emission levels of 2011 by 30% by the year 2015. To reach this goal, production procedures are optimised continuously and the use of alternative raw materials and fuels is intensified. 4 J '
