Cement plants require continuous monitoring of the process and product. From incoming ore to blending the clinker not only is the product being analyzed (CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, etc) but a series of analyzers are monitoring the gases created throughout the process. Coal bins & mills, pre-heat towers, and calciners are monitored for CO and O2, the kiln is monitored for a series of gases (CO, NO, O2, CH4, CO2, SO2), baghouses are monitored for dust and particulate and the CEMs equipment monitors (flow, particulate, CO, NOx, SO2, O2, H2O, HCl, HF, VOC, … ) for compliance and as a last look at the process. Whether it is the ore or clinker you're looking to analyze, the gases created in your kiln, the emissions out your stack or any of the places in-between, CEMSI provides full-site knowledge of cement production and wisdom in maximizing your product, safety, process and emission monitoring equipment and service. The CEMSI cement solutions guide gives an overview of where you can expect our experts to help reduce capital and operating costs. CEM Specialties Inc (CEMSI) has supported cement for over 25 years with sales, service, parts, and expertise and has expanded our offerings to provide cement plants with better technology, increased up-time and confidence in their equipment.

7. Probes
An integral part of any sampling system is
the probe used to extract the process
gases.
Probes used in cement plants face harsh
environments from high temperatures to
high dust loading.
• Operation Temperature
• Blow Back Requirements
• Corrosive Gases
• Physical Abuse from Process
• Maintenance Requirements /
Accessibility
• High Dust Loads

8. Hot / Wet Analyzers
Hot / Wet IR Analytical Systems keep the
process or flue gas at an elevated
temperature that is above the highest dew
point. The probe, sample line and optical
bench are all heated. (180 – 200C).
• CO, CO2, NO, NO2, N2O, NOX, NH3,
SO2, CH4, CH2O, HCl, HF, TOC, H2O, O2
• Common in Combustion Applications
• Requirement for Water Measurement
• Low Level CO, SO2, NO Measurements
• Measurement of Soluble Gases (HCl,
HF, NO2 and NH3)
• High SO3 in Sample Gas
• Reduced Corrosion

9. Cold / Dry Analyzers
Cold / Dry IR Analytical System cool the
gas before the optical bench to remove or
“knock out” any condensables. The
sample probe and line are heated, but the
gas is cooled to 3-5 C before the analyzer.
• CO, CO2, NO, NO2, N2O, NOX, SO2,
CH4, H2, H2S, O2
• Water Vapor affects some
measurements (IR)
• Removal of corrosive gasses
• Removal of cross interfering /
condensable gases
• Improved sample conditioning and
isolation of desired components
• Temperature stability not as important

10. Close Coupled
An alternative to in-situ analyzers, a close
coupled extractive system such as a
Hot/Wet UV system can measure low level
NH3, NOX, SO2 and O2, verifying
performance and minimizing ammonia
slip after SNCR and SCR systems.
• Hot/Wet UV or IR Configuration
• CO, CO2, NO, NO2, N2O, NOX,
NH3, SO2, CH4, CH2O, HCl, HF,
TOC, H2O, O2
• Only one port location
• Greater stability
• Negligible lag time
• Simplified maintenance

11. Shelter Integration
Often cement facilities need a new or
updated CEM system, but do not have a
useable facility close to the stack to house
the equipment.
CEMSI designs and configures the CEM
system around their compliant
requirements and designs and builds
custom shelters to house their gas
conditioning and analytical equipment.
Calibration gases are stored in a separate
room for safety.

12. Mobile / Portable Analyzers
Portability allows for multiple facility
locations or multiple sites to share the
analyzer to minimize rental costs and
mitigate downtime due to analyzer repair
or maintenance.
• Hot / Wet (200o C) IR & UV
• CO, CO2, NO, NO2, N2O, NOX,
NH3, SO2, CH4, CH2O, HCl, HF,
TOC, H2O, O2
• Connect to existing probe and
sample line
• Mobile stack dust (mg/m3)
• Mobile ambient particulate
(mg/m3)

13. Tribo-Electric Dust Monitor
Tribo-electric systems are based on the
charge exchange between the probe and
dust.
Bag house or filters can be monitored to
ensure efficiency and look for problems
such as clogging, heavy dust loads or
broken bags and filters.
Venting from grinders, mills and other
discharge stacks can be monitored for
product loss.
Particulate matter can be monitored in
stacks.

14. Incoming and Final Inspection
Monitoring incoming ore, additives, final
clinker and blending applications is vital to
ensure both efficient and correct
processes and to minimize give-away
throughout a cement plant.
With NIR or FT-IR CEMSI provides non-
radioactive options for real-time mineral
analysis (CaO, SiO2, Al2O3 , etc) with high
accuracy that can be mounted for
conveyors or airslide applications.
Real-time chemical composition of the
materials allows for the optimal mixture
and process control.

15. What Proper Integration Means
A cement manufacturing facility
experienced significant downtime and
cost due to breakdowns of the kiln inlet
and outlet gas analyzers.
CEMSI analyzed the gas chemistry, and
realized that the system was not properly
designed. A new sample conditioning
system was designed that utilized existing
and new components in a modified
configuration. By correcting for the
chemistry, the new conditioning system
reduced downtime, maintenance costs
and eliminated future damage to the gas
analyzers.
Maintenance went from 2 days a week, to
a few hours a month, an 80% reduction.

16. Service:
CEMSI provides world-wide service and
testing, not only for our systems but
systems from any source. Our factory
trained technicians have worked with
customers across the globe to ensure they
reach their compliance targets and reduce
their maintenance costs.
In addition to CEMs our team has worked
with facilities to install and maintain their
process analyzers and improve
maintenance costs and increase up-time.
Our technicians have worked with all the
leading brands of analyzers and are so
experience they have had the original
factory call CEMSI to ask questions.
