March 26, 2026
Zoom
Overview
In the Quarry to Clinker webinar series, ACA is bringing back popular recordings featuring insights from cement-industry expert John Kline.
This webinar replay provides an operations-focused overview of alkali bypass systems in cement manufacturing. Driven largely by the increased use of alternative raw materials and fuels, especially those high in chlorine or alkalis, the session explores why more plants are prioritizing bypass technology. The overview details typical operational scenarios, recent design and performance improvements, and key considerations for dust handling. The webinar closes with insights on reliability, system upgrades, and operational decisions that can help plants optimize bypass system performance.
- Understand how alkali bypass systems support increased use of alternative raw materials and fuels.
- Explain how recent design improvements contribute to greater bypass efficiency.
- Compare various cooling system options.
- Apply effective dust handling strategies to manage concentrated chloride streams.
