Data Analysis of Electrostatic Charge on Finish
Ball Mills
This report represents Phase 3 of an ongoing
evaluation of the effects of grinding aid and electrostatic charge
on grinding finish mills in cement plants. Data reduction and analysis
was performed on grinding parameters and grinding aid data collected
during Phase 2 of the evaluation. The purpose of this report is to
present the reduced data and the results of the analysis. Reviewers
should send their comments to rbohan@cement.org

How does your plant stack up for energy performance?
You can take a look at Gale Boyd's presentation, "Methodology
and Results of the Energy Performance Indicator for Cement Manufacturing,"
Boyd is a researcher with the Argonne National Laboratory.
Click
here to view or download Boyd's PowerPoint™ presentation.
The energy performance indicator tool (EPI) enables comparison of
the energy efficiency of a specific U.S.-based cement manufacturing
plant to that of the industry within the U.S. The EPI produces a plant
percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the
most energy efficient and average plants in the industry and the previous
performance for the plant.
Click here to download the
EPI too (Excel file).
Interested in coal system safety?
You might want to review PCA's, "Recommended Coal System Safety
Guidelines." This document is currently under review for potential
update and revision. Download a copy here.
