When you stop to think about the fundamental importance of cement to everything we do, it’s really eye opening. Cement really is one of the building blocks of modern society!
And at Auburn Systems we’re proud to be one of the building blocks of modern cement manufacturing.
Many people naturally think of us for our triboelectric bag leak detectors often used in cement dust collection systems. But we’re actually embedded in a number of places throughout a typical cement plant.
First, broken bag detection is critically important in cement plant emissions control. Auburn’s digital signal processing capability ensures compliance with air permit requirements, but it also provides predictive maintenance and early warning capability to allow maintenance teams to respond before expensive excursions occur. In some instances we have eliminated the need for plants to continue with their Method 22 visual inspections just by installing a simple broken bag detector.
Second, similar detection technology fulfills several key flow control applications in a cement plant. Triboelectric offers a low head-room alternative to impact flow meters to monitor product flow on the separator reject air slide.
We also monitor the flow of pulverized coal into the kiln. By precisely controlling the flow, we’re able to help cement plants improve quality, reduce emissions and dramatically reduce costs and operational fluctuation.
Third, Auburn helps plants monitor ambient, or fugitive dust in the work place. Although some dust is unavoidable, excess buildup creates health, emissions and potential safety concerns - even potential factory explosions. So consistent, simple, reliable monitoring is important to ensure that fugitive dust is within acceptable limits.
So whether you look at it as top to bottom or start to finish, Auburn’s engineered solutions for triboelectric particulate monitoring are designed to optimize critical functions in the demanding environment of a cement plant.
Cement’s important to all of us….and Auburn’s helping produce it efficiently, safely and economically.
