All over the world alternative fuels have become more and more popular in the cement industry to cut the costs of energy during clinker production. Due to the lack of regulations a lot of governments - especially those of emerging countries - raise the potential of alternative fuels by establishing successful joint ventures with the cement industry and its professional energy management. Therefore ThyssenKrupp Polysius and Vecoplan established FuelTrack as a joint venture to offer reasonable and economical solutions to the cement and lime industry: Starting with identifi- cation of combustibles and the technical assessment of the pyrorocess, the correct pre-treatment process has to be designed. The reception of the waste material, pre-treating waste to alternative fuel storage and feeding at the cement works as well as technical optimization or replacement will complete the service for a cost saving co-processing of alternative fuels and raw materials.
