PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Cement Plant
Cement manufacturing principally involves grinding and blending of raw materials in a
definite proportion - a material containing calcium oxide (such as limestone, chalk, marl)
with a siliceous material (such as clay, shale, sand) along with certain additive or
corrective materials (such as laterite) and then calcining and sintering the mixture at
14500C in a rotatory kiln. The resulting ‘clinker’ is cooled and then ground with gypsum
to produce the finished product, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Gypsum is added to
control the setting time of cement. Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) is manufactured by
adding approximately 30% fly ash to clinker and gypsum during the grinding operation.
Dry process of cement manufacturing offers more advantages, particularly in fuel
consumption and is the most rational and logical choice. In the proposed plant, dry
process with calcinatory has been selected to manufacture clinker, which comprises of
rotary kiln, preheater and precalciner.
Calcined Petroleum Coke Plant
0.325 MTPA CPC shall be produced using Rotary Kiln Technology. Raw material (GPC) is
unloaded into the dump hoppers at site. GPC is lumpy in nature and can be as large as
300 mm and is stacked in closed shed. The material is screened and the oversized
material is fed into a double roll crusher where the lump size is reduced to -75 mm and
stored in day bins. The crusher is equipped with bag filter to collect the particulate
matter.
Calcination
The crushed GPC from the day bins is fed into the rotary calciner through a belt
conveyor by metering system. During the startup HSD is used through the burner to
heat up the refractory lining and also to ignite the volatile maters in the pet coke. There
up on the ignited volatile matters is sufficient enough for calcination process. To facilitate
the combustion of volatile matters tertiary air fans are used to inject combustion air into
the kiln. At the outlet of the kiln oxygen gas is pumped to sustain the temperature
profile.
After calcination, CPC is transferred into the rotary cooler and quenched with water. Oil
dust suppressant is sprayed at the discharge of the rotary cooler.
The evolved volatile matters from the kiln, along with the cooler exhaust gases from tare
ducted to the incinerator to compete the combustion process. The flue gases from the
incinerator with temperatures of 1000 to 1200⁰C are ducted into the calciner vessel of
cement kiln preheater. The cement kiln calciner is charged with raw meal of fine lime
stone powder. This lime stone powder absorbs the heat from the flue gases coming from
the CPC kiln and calcined into CaO. This calcined CaO is collected in a cyclone and fed
into the cement kiln for clinkerisation process. A common ID fan is used to draw the hot
gases from the pet coke kiln as well as from the cement kiln. Additional amount of
pulverized coal also fired in the cement kiln calciner to maintain the calciner
temperature. The exhaust gases from the cement calciner are used for raw material
drying. Balance exhaust gases are used in Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHB) to
generate power. Kiln and Raw mill stack is attached with RABH to take care of the
emission <30 mg/Nm3. After calcination CPC is conveyed and stored in silos.
21
The calcination of GPC is carried out in the kiln in three stages. First is the evaporation of
moisture, followed by evolution of volatile matters and finally densification of the coke to
improve the density of the CPC. With an increase in moisture and volatile content in the
coke, the densification zone becomes shorter making it difficult to achieve the desired
density and meeting customer requirement. The concept of pre-drier technology
removes the operation of moisture evaporation from the existing kiln making available a
longer zone for densification.

2.0 Introduction of the project/ background information
(i) Company Profile
Rain Cement Limited was established in the year 1986 and the company is
engaged in the production and marketing of Priya ® Brand Cement.
Cement plant is located at Ramapuram Village, Mellachervu Mandal, Suryapet
District (Unit-I), which has an installed capacity of 15,00,000 MT per annum,
and is one of the major plants in Telangana.
The manufacturing process is based on know-how from ONODA Engineering
Consultants Co. Ltd., Japan. The company markets its products under the
brand name “PRIYA” which is well established in all the southern states. The
company has wide marketing network of more than 2000 stockiest 15
Branches in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamilnadu Karnataka,
Pondycherry Goa Odisha, Kerala, and Maharashtra. Company is presently
producing OPC and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).
(ii) Brief description of nature of the project
Rain Cements Limited (RCL) is currently operating Cement project with 1.0
MTPA clinker and 1.5 MTPA cement manufacturing capacity at Ramapuram
village, Mellachervu mandal, Suryapet district, Telangana.
RCL is proposing to set up the (Line-II) second production line by addition of
1.5 MTPA clinker and 2.3 MTPA cement Plant within the existing cement plant
complex.
In addition to the cement and clinker capacity enhancement, RCL proposes to
install Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) plant of 0.325 MTPA capacity with 12
MW Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) within the existing plant premises.
CPC rotary kiln flue gases will be utilized in cement kiln preheater to reduce
the coal consumption in the cement rotary kiln. This is an innovative
technology adopted by RCL which is more environmental friendly.
Environmental Clearance for the existing cement plant (Line-I) has been issued
vide letter F.NO.J.11011/152/2008-IA II (I) dated October 27th 2010 and
consent to operate from Telangana State Pollution Control Board.
5
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or
region
Main objective for expansion of clinker and cement production capacity is to
optimize the costs of production by utilising the existing facilities within the
existing cement plant and to cater the gap of future demand and supply.
Further, calcined pet coke production will be beneficial in meeting the calcined
pet coke (CPC), which is mainly used in aluminium industry besides steel and
titanium di-oxide industries.
(iv) Demand-Supply gap
The demand of cement in our country is increasing day by day due to
development works in Government as well as in Private Sectors resulting in
vast construction activity in different fields such as building/village
development programmes, housing, irrigation, concrete roads, dams and
Hydro power projects as well as industrialization etc. To fulfill the increased
national demand of cement, RCL proposes for the enhancement/expansion of
the clinker and cement production capacity at Ramapuram village, Mellachervu
mandal, Suryapet district, Telangana.
Demand for CPC is increasing in the domestic market and there is a
considerable gap between supply and demand. Currently some quantity of CPC
is being imported from china and other countries.
(iv) Import V/s Indigenous production
India is self sufficient to meet the demands of the market with the GDP
projected at 10% in the coming decades and in view of the infrastructure
development. Since, the facilities going across the region, the growth rate of
demand will increase. Hence, the proposed expansion shall cater to meet
requirement of nation’s developmental project.
(v) Export Possibility
Proposed expansion of production capacity of clinker and cement plant within
the existing cement complex is to cater the demands of domestic and
international markets.
Further, CPC plant will cater to the requirement of calcined pet coke utilization
in various industries such as aluminum industries in India and abroad.
(vi) Employment generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project
Any production process requires human resources involving both skilled and
semi-skilled workers and thus is same for the proposed
expansion/enhancement of clinker and cement plant production. Employment
potential to be created by the proposed expansion project shall improve the
socio economic life of the region and contributes to increase in GDP as a whole.
Besides, unskilled workforces required for maintenance & other day to day
jobs will be hired from the nearby villages by the contractor. Hence direct or
indirect employment generation potential is envisaged. However, about
700 workforce are required during the construction phase of the project and
additional man power requirement during the operational phase is about 110
direct employment and 250 indirect employment.

Project Description
i. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent
projects, if any
To meet the additional raw material requirement, it is proposed to increase the
captive lime stone mine production from 1.60 MTPA to 3.94 MTPA. The captive
lime stone mine is located adjacent to the cement plant.
It is proposed to install 0.325 MTPA CPC plant which is interdependent to the
cement kiln. Flue gases from the CPC kiln will be utilized in the cement kiln
preheater. Power is generated from the flue gases of kiln preheater and from
the exhaust air of clinker cooler.
A separate application seeking prior approval from Ministry of Environment
Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) for the proposed enhancement in the
captive lime stone mine production is submitted.
ii. Location (map showing general location, specific location and
project boundary & project layout) with coordinates.
The proposed cement plant expansion and CPC plant is planned within the
existing cement plant complex at Ramapuram village, Mellachervu mandal,
Suryapet district, Telangana.

iii. Details of alternative sites considered and the basis of selecting
the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations
gone into should highlighted.
The proposed expansion project is planned within the available land of
existing cement plant complex at Ramapuram village, Mellachervu
mandal, Suryapet district, Telangana. Hence, no alternative sites were
considered for the proposed expansion.
iv. Size or magnitude of operation
RCL proposes for enhancement of production capacity of clinker from
1.0 MTPA to 2.50 MTPA and Cement from 1.5 MTPA to 3.80 MTPA.
Further, Calcined Petroleum Coke Plant of 0.325 MTPA capacity with 12
MW Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) is proposed.
v. Location and Accessibility
The Rain cement plant complex is at a distance of about 17 km (aerial)
from Kodad town, located on the National Highway (NH-65). The
proposed plant site is 75 km from Vijayawada.
Ramapuram railway station is at a distance of 1 km and Vijayawada
airport is at a distance of 92 km from the project site.
(v) Project description with process details
Cement Manufacturing Process:
Cement manufacturing principally involves grinding and blending of raw
materials in a definite proportion - a material containing calcium oxide (such as
limestone, chalk, marl) with a siliceous material (such as clay, shale, sand)
along with certain additive or corrective materials (such as laterite) and then
calcining and sintering the mixture at 14500C in a rotatory kiln. The resulting
‘clinker’ is cooled and then ground with gypsum to produce the finished
product, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Gypsum is added to control the
setting time of cement. Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) is manufactured by
adding approximately 30% fly ash to clinker and gypsum during the grinding
operation.
The resulting ‘clinker’ is cooled and then ground with gypsum to produce the
finished product (Cement). All grinding processes are carried by energy
efficient vertical roller mills/roller press/ Ball Mill combination.
In ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), required Gypsum is added to control the
setting time of cement. In Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC), in addition to
Gypsum approximately 30% fly ash also added in the grinding process.
Dry process with calcinator offers more advantages, particularly in fuel
consumption and is the most rational and logical choice. In the proposed plant
(line-II), dry process with separate line calciner has been selected to
manufacture clinker, which comprises of preheater, calciner rotary kiln and
cooler. Pollution control equipment’s state are of art RABH and high efficient
Bag filters. The process flow diagram of clinker and cement manufacturing is
shown in the Figure-3.

FLUE GASES FROM CPC KILN
11
Calcined Petroleum Coke Plant:
The proposed CPC plant envisages utilization of a low-end by-product of refineries -
Green Petroleum Coke (GPC) and conversion to a carbon enriched product - Calcined
Petroleum Coke (CPC). The flue gases from the CPC kiln is utilized in cement kiln
preheater. Power is generated by recovering the waste heat from the exit flue gases
of kiln preheater and the exit hot air of clinker cooler using WHRBs. The resultant
flue gases from WHRBs will be passed through RABH, which is connected to kiln and
raw mill stack. Clinker cooler stack is equipped with ESP.
Green Petroleum Coke
Green Petroleum Coke (GPC), a by-product of light sweet crude petroleum refining, is
the raw material for the manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC). The light
sweet crude oil, which is a premium crude oil, is low in sulfur and metals and thus can
only be used to produce GPC.
GPC tends to approach equilibrium moisture content in the range of 7% - 14% by
weight, when allowed to stand in piles for a few days. This moisture is removed only
in the calcination process at or near the feed point temperature of about 600⁰C.
Chemical analysis of GPC is given in Table-2.
Green Petroleum Coke (GPC) is converted to Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC)
depending upon its physical and chemical properties. In the calcining process, volatile
components are removed in a reduction atmosphere. Oxygen is used as a limited
reactant in the calcination process. Calcination increases the real density and converts
GPC into electrically conducting carbon of CPC.
The present proposal of CPC plant is planned to be installed using rotary kiln

CPC is produced using a Rotary Kiln. Raw material (GPC) is unloaded and
stacked in closed shed. GPC is lumpy in nature and can be as large as 300
mm, the material is screened and the oversized material is fed into a double
roll crusher where the lump size is reduced to -75 mm and stored in day bins.
The crusher is equipped with bag filter to collect the particulate matter.
The crushed GPC from the day bins is fed into the rotary kiln through a belt
conveyor by metering system. During the startup HSD is used through the
burner to heat up the refractory lining and also to ignite the volatile maters in
the pet coke. There up on the ignited volatile matters is sufficient enough for
calcination process. To facilitate the combustion of volatile matters tertiary air
fans are used to inject combustion air into the kiln. At the outlet of the kiln
oxygen gas is pumped to sustain the temperature profile.
After calcination, CPC is transferred into the rotary cooler and quenched with
water. Oil dust suppressant is sprayed at the discharge of the rotary cooler.
The evolved volatile matters from the kiln, along with the cooler exhaust gases
are ducted to the incinerator to complete the combustion process. The flue
gases from the incinerator, with temperatures of 1000 to 1200⁰C are ducted
into the calciner of cement kiln preheater. The cement kiln calciner is charged
with raw meal of fine lime stone powder. This lime stone powder absorbs the
heat from the flue gases coming from the CPC kiln and calcined into Calcium
Oxide (CaO). This calcined CaO is collected in the bottom stage cyclone of
preheater and fed into the cement kiln for clinkerisation process. A common ID
fan is used to draw the hot gases from the pet coke as well as cement kiln.
Additional amount of pulverized coal also fired in the cement kiln calciner to
maintain the calciner temperature. The exhaust gases from the cement
preheater are used for raw material drying. Balance exhaust gases are used
in Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHB) to generate power. Kiln and Raw mill
stack is attached with RABH to take care of the emission <30 mg/Nm3. After
calcination CPC is quenched in rotary cooler and transported to the storage
silos.
The flow diagram of Rotary Kiln (CPC process) is presented in Figure-4.

(vii) Resources optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if
any should be briefly outlined.
Waste gases from both Line – I and Line -II units can be utilized by installing a
WHRB. The potential power generation is about 12 MW. Hence power
generation of 12 MW is envisaged from waste gases.
This 12 MW power generation is also planned keeping in view of availability of
hot gases evolved from the calcination process. The flue gases evolved during
the process of calcination pass through the Waste heat Recovery Boiler
(WHRB) where the heat energy is tapped and utilized to generate steam. The
superheated steam is then used to roll the turbine and generate power.
(VIII) Availability of water its sources, Energy /power requirement and
sources should be given,
Water
Apart from the existing water requirement of 1200 KLD, about 600 KLD of
additional water is required for proposed expansion of cement plant and will be
sourced from rain water collected in the rain water harvesting system and from
the existing bore wells.
For CPC plant, water consumption is about 700 KLD and for WHRB Power plant
it is about 300 KLD, the same will be met from the Krishna river located 10 km
away from the site.
Power
The maximum estimated power demand for the plant is 40 MW. It is proposed
to meet this requirement from State Electricity Board grid as well as from the
power generated from the WHRB power plant.
RCL has already installed 2x6 MW Furnace oil fired DG sets and one 625 KVA
DG Set as stand by source to meet the emergency power requirement.
Specific Power consumption : Around 70 kwh/t. of cement
Specific Heat Consumption : 710 Kcal/Kg of clinker
