What cement engineers face

Cement production is energy-intensive and tightly coupled. Small changes cascade through the entire process.

Energy optimization

Rotary kilns consume massive amounts of thermal energy. Understanding heat transfer and combustion efficiency is critical for cost reduction.

Particle size control

Cement quality depends heavily on the particle size distribution after grinding. Predicting and controlling PSD across mill circuits is essential.

Process coupling

Preheater, kiln, and cooler are thermally linked. Adjusting one unit affects everything downstream. Simulation helps predict these interactions.

Model the full production line

Build your cement flowsheet step by step and analyze every stage.

1

Define your raw material feed

Set up inlet streams with composition, temperature, pressure, and particle size distribution. Use kyuu's material database for common cement raw materials like limestone, clay, and gypsum.

2

Build the thermal process chain

Connect preheater stages, the rotary kiln, and clinker cooler in a visual flowsheet. Configure heat transfer parameters, residence times, and combustion conditions.

3

Add grinding and classification

Model ball mills, vertical roller mills, and air classifiers. Analyze how breakage functions and separation efficiency affect your final product's particle size distribution.

4

Analyze and optimize

Run simulations and inspect mass balances, energy flows, and PSD at every point. Use process analysis to identify bottlenecks and test "what if" scenarios without touching the real plant.
