Best approach to integrating the CST technology in a conventional cement plant is to use solar tower system with solar reactor at the top of the solar tower or preheater tower. Additionally, the use of non-conventional sources of energy in cement production reduces a lot of anthropogenic emissions to the atmosphere.
Location and DNI availability of the investigated plant A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application.
There are a lot of barriers exist while implementing CST technology. Scaling up solar reactors, transportation system for raw and calcined material, and storing of calcined materials are the major barriers. Conventional cement plant that is situated in a location with a DNI value of more than 438 (W/m 2) can use this solar design model.
Conventional Portland cement degrades in the presence of carbonic acid, potentially leading to a loss of well integrity. In CCUS well construction, it is critical to design for traditional operational parameters, such as downhole temperatures and pressures. Halliburton has decades of experience in corrosive environment barrier design.
