The preheater tower also includes a calciner with an optimum residence time to promote efficient calcination and reduction of NOX formation. The hotmeal is then transferred to the two-pier rotary kiln, 75 m long and 5.2 m in dia., to complete the clinkerisation process. The kiln has a nominal capacity of 6000 tpd. The clinker then passes through the Polytrack cooler, with a mid-cooler crushing system, before it is transferred to one of three 40 000 t clinker silos. In addition to normal secondary and tertiary air recovery technology, the plant also recovers excess heat from the clinker cooler to meet the needs of the cement mills.

Rebecca recently started working for Palladian Publications in September and is looking forward to discovering all there is to know about the cement industry through her role as Assistant Editor on World Cement.
She graduated from the University of Oxford in 2015 with an MSt in Classical Archaeology, although she spent too much of her time doing sport, from rowing to cheerleading.
She is now living in Woking and enjoys reading, writing, travel and pretending she has the ability to cook.
