AI in Cement Manufacturing for Efficiency and Greener Processes
With rising demand for infrastructure development, scale of cement manufacturing has grown leaps and bounds. In 2020 alone, the global cement production volume reached 4.1 billion metric tonnes (MT), with China alone contributing a staggering 2.2 billion MT. In this context, it becomes imperative to keep costs and environmental impact in check.
Cement Production involves complex processes having interdependencies and jointly determining the efficiency and emissions. A major component of the costs is the energy costs contributing 40-60% of the overall cost. Energy consumed depends on various chemical reactions happening in the cement kilns. It entails monitoring of hundreds of input and output parameters across all 8 stages of cement manufacturing to ensure desired quality, cost, and emission levels.
