Cement Industry Overview & Decarbonization Awareness Training

1. In location selection of any "NEW" plant (factory), it's always important to consider being close to raw material,  product market,  ports (if possible) and infrastructure.

• True

• False

Cement technology is well known to be one of the highest energy consuming industries, fuel is one of the main components of cement cost, majority of cement plants are currently burning;

• Natural Gas

• Coal and Petcock

• Heavy Fuel Oil (Mazut)

• Diesel  

In cement industry, clinker is considered as a semi-finished product, bypass dust is a waste that can be utilized in other applications (asphalt filling material, blocks,..etc) ,so it can be considered as a byproduct.

• True

• False

1. Which the type of the following equipment give the highest separation efficiency of gases and dust reaching to a level of dust emission below 10mg/Nm3?

• Cyclones

• Bag filters

• Gravel filter

• Electrostatic filter

Calcination of material in the range of 600 to 900 Deg. Celsius for the decomposition of CaCO3 to CaO and CO2 is one of the main cement chemical process taking place in the preheater tower?

• True

• False

CO2 emission and impact on global warming is one the current world issues frequently discussed and subject to multiple debates. CO2 main current source on global level is originated from ;

• Electricity generation

• Industry

• Agriculture

• Transportation

One of the techniques used in cement plants to reduce CO2 emission is; 

• Use of alternative fuel

• Use of sand and iron ore material

• Injection of ammonia

• Use of special filters

From the techniques of technology in cement industry to reduce CO₂ emission;

 

• Carbon capture and storage

• Ready fired raw material

• Nano Clinker structure

• All of the above

A Study that must be done and approved by the Environmental Authority when it comes to new project, new modification is done in any industrial sector, the study is illustrating the Environmental influence positive or negative that is expected to take place with the new changes, it has 3 main categories based on the complexity of the change itself;

• Environmental Study Assessment

• Environmental Influence Assessment

• Environmental Impact Assessment

• Environmental Change Assessment
