Cement Kiln Line, 3000 t/d

Challenge

A fast-track project was commissioned by the owner to take advantage of a robust local cement market. The onus fell upon the engineering integrator, Consultec, to bring together diverse equipment suppliers and construct a new facility, adjacent to an existing kiln line that remained in operation throughout the project.

Process

For a new 3000 t/d kiln line, a carefully planned phased design was scheduled to facilitate equipment tie-ins during planned plant shutdowns.

Delivery

Consultec was the overall engineering integrator for this $250M project, and was responsible for balance of plant equipment procurement, mechanical, civil, structural and electrical design as well as construction supervision.

New Kiln Line

Challenge

Design and construction supervision of a 5600 mtpd clinker kiln line from raw material storage and handling, raw grinding, pyro-processing through clinker storage.

Process

5600 t/d Clinker production line (increased to 6300 t/d with process improvements)

Delivery

St. Marys Cement replaced 2 existing wet klins with one 5 stage, double string new kiln line with a capacity of 5,600 tpd. In 1999 Consultec engineered modifications to increase clinker production capacity to 6,400 mtpd. Projects included a new downcomer, ID Fan, indirect kiln coal firing system, dust collection, upgrades, cooler enlargement and new tertiary air duct.
