4 FAQs about A 150-foot solar-powered container used by a cement plant in Slovenia

Can solar clinker be used for cement production?

For the first time ever, CEMEX and Synhelion successfully connected the clinker production process with the Synhelion solar receiver, producing solar clinker. This revolutionary innovation is an initial step to develop fully solar-driven cement plants.

How calcined meal is used in a solar cement plant?

Solar cement plant operation during the day with a solar multiple (SM) > 1. Once more, the storage or conventional calciner makes up the difference between the generated calcined material and the design point. After the solar reactor achieves its optimum value, the calcined meal is immediately provided for the subsequent process.

Will Cemex & synhelion develop fully solar-driven cement production?

Cemex and Synhelion have made significant progress in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production. They have scaled their technology to industrially-viable levels, enabling the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement manufacturing, using only solar heat.

Can a conventional cement plant be used for solar thermal applications?

A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application. According to Indian Minerals Yearbook 2020, the plant produced 2.37 million tons, while the production capacity of the plant is 4 million tons.
