The 2nd Virtual Global CemEnergy Seminar on 18 May 2021 will cover conventional fuels for cement production, including coal, lignite, gas and petcoke, looking at their trading and shipping, handling, storage, grinding, conveying and dosage, covering burners and pyroprocess optimisation.
The virtual conference will also look at the optimisation of electrical energy, including the use of grinding aids to reduce specific energy use in comminution, as well as mill optimisation, electrical energy efficiency measure, electrical energy scheduling and hedging strategies and the possibility of both electrical energy production (using waste heat recovery, solar and wind and captive power plants) and storage.
Alongside keynote speakers, a small number of sponsored presentation slots are available. Please contact Paul Brown, on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., including for other commercial opportunities.
