With more than 600 million tons of installed capacity, India is the world’s second-largest cement producer and a bellwether for emerging-market infrastructure. National demand is growing, fuelled by highway construction, affordable-housing schemes, and the rapid build-out of solar and wind parks. In many rural districts, a cement plant is one of the largest local employers, supporting logistics, maintenance, and downstream ready-mix networks. Yet the rotary kiln that is the heart of every plant runs at 1400°C and consumes vast quantities of coal, petcock, or alternative fuels. Energy, therefore, makes up a significant slice of ex-factory cost and accounts for a notable share of India’s industrial CO₂ emissions, putting thermal efficiency and decarbonization squarely on the CEO agenda.
How Spectrum International Helps
Kiln and calciner burners firing pulverized coal or petcock can introduce Spectrum’s HHO at the recommended securing at least a 10% efficiency gain for coal combustion and lowering CO₂ and SOₓ at the stack. The retrofit installs alongside existing fuel systems and keeps the plant’s original firing train intact.
