Energy savings utilizing chemicals in cement production
processes was the main objective in this paper. By using
three mixtures; grinding aids mixture, fuel additives
mixture, and pigments mixture, this objective was verified.
Grinding aids mixture which was locally manufactured was
applied in three factories, allowed higher fineness, higher
degree of hydration, increased the compressive strength of
cement by (5% in factory"A",10% in factory"B",1% in
factory"C"),and reduced the initial setting time by(34%in
factory"A",17% in factory"C"), also increased the output in
TPH(Ton per hour) by(22% in factory"A",7% in factory"B",20%
in factory"C"). It reduced Blaine value by(19% in factory"A",7%
in factory "B",15% in factory"C"). Fuel additives mixture
can be added to heavy fuel oil to save fuel consumption, and
pigment mixture can be used to color the cement properly in
order to compete with other companies.
