Interesting Reads on Plasma and the Cement Industry

Some informative and interesting reads involving the use of plasma in the cement industry. Interesting to see that plasma is now being mentioned more and more as an alternative in different markets and industries. 

@cargo Nice, we all know about this project by Heidelberg Cement in Ribbledale UK which was a worlds first demonstration utilizing biomass, hydrogen + plasma energy.
https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/uk-heidelbergcement-produces-cement-with-climate-neutral-fuel-mix-using-hydrogen-technology/ Looks like the project is gaining traction, if you read the article below (published on July 5/2022) Tarmac have incorporated the same tech with potential to be used replacing natural gas with commercial-scale production of lime in their plant in Tunstead, PLUS another project with plasma:) "A third demonstration, also at Tunstead but on the cement plant has investigated the use of plasma (electrical) energy to heat the calciner" https://tunstead.tarmac.com/news/uk-lime-kiln-in-world-first-net-zero-hydrogen-trial/ Also to note that: The results from these projects will be shared with lime and cement producers and other energy-intensive industries both in the UK and globally as best practice examples, with the aim of spreading and maximising the environmental benefits of the technology.


Interesting read on Plasma in Cement industry. The results of modelling plasma torches indicated that it is feasible to replace the fuel burners with plasma torches in the rotary kiln. To validate this result, calculations on the gas temperature profile in the kiln need to be performed to investigate if the required temperatures can be reached.

It worries me that these articles are about Hydrogen Fueled Torches. Am I missing something. I am long PYR for years so please dont think I am bashing. As you can see I seldom post but this truly worries me.

the new plant being built are using hydrogen.  Any of the studies of cement etc all have natural gas being substantially cheaper to operate that's not even counting installation and modifications. I believe the cement thesis from a couple months ago had electricity at 6.3 cents a kilowatt and still was twice as expensive as gas. Good luck finding electricity at twice that price in the ...more
