Recoverable Quantity of Waste Heat from Kiln and Preheater Systems and Economic Analysis (Case of Messebo Cement Factory)

This project entitled “Recoverable quantity of waste heat at Messebo cement factor y” has tried to quantify the amount of heat loss, the amount of energy and cost saved from the waste heat. Here both primary and secondary data collection methods were included to carry out the study. So, the projects present starts by identifying the main source of waste (which part of cement have high loss), following calculated heat lost from the identified places or machines and final calculating the possible money saved if the waste heat changed to use full form or if it recovered Successful recovery waste heat contributes to lower fuel cost, lower electricity consumption. Kiln surface zones, Preheater cyclone 4 and 5 are the main areas in which high waste was occur. From Kiln surface zones (959.13 kJ), Preheater cyclone 4 and 5(587.199 kJ) amount of heat is lost. From this lost we can recover around 62 kW power is recovered, 44155kwhr/month energy and 26492birr/month could be saved. It recommended the energy management department should invite and support others participation and to study on the heat recovery from the loosing of energy and to study on the alternative energy sources of the company.
