The chief minister of Ayeyawady Region receives the Asian resident representative of IKN GmbH of Singapore.
With an annual cement consumption of about 1.85 bnt, China is by far the world’s largest cement market. This has created a demand for high-capacity clinker lines similar to those procured by the Anhui Conch Cement Company in autumn 2009 for its Wuhu and Tongling plants. While two lines have been erected and exceed their 12,000 t/d design capacity, the third one is due to start up in April 2012. For the coolers of these new lines, Anhui Conch turned to Germany-based IKN.
Within the scope of a project subsidised by the German Federal Ministry for the
Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the kiln system at the Rohrdorf cement plant was modernised. A waste heat recovery system was among the newly installed equipment. Extraction of the mid-air from the grate cooler results in a further reduction of heat loss and an increased degree of heat recuperation.
