ENERGY ANALYSIS OF AN ORC COGENERATION FROM HEAT LOSSES IN CEMENT PLANT

The cement plant is a high energy intensive industry with high emissions greenhouse gases likely CO2. In order to reducing the environment related problems various cycles are coupled to this plant. For this goal to recover waste heat from the preheater exhaust and clinker cooler exhaust gases in cement production, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for producing power and heat process is analysis via energy concept. Results show that the thermal efficiency of plant is about 0.85% , the heating process is 36 kW and the power produced is 11.04 kW.
