SWISS COMBI ALTERNATIVE FUEL DRYING SYSTEMS
Alternative fuels are generally subjected to a drying process before being fed into the kiln in cement plants. By drying, the moisture content of the fuel is reduced, thereby increasing its lower heating value and ensuring more stable and efficient combustion in the kiln. This process is particularly important for fuels with high moisture content such as RDF, TDF, biomass, and sewage sludge.
Pre-drying contributes to a reduction in the kiln’s thermal load, lower fuel consumption, improved flame stability, and reduced CO₂ emissions. In addition, it enables a more homogeneous fuel feed while minimizing process fluctuations and the risk of blockages in the kiln and preheater systems. In this way, higher substitution rates of alternative fuels can be achieved, supporting both operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
SWISS COMBI has been developing clean and efficient drying systems for biomass for many years. Whether SWISS COMBI dryers are suitable for your product can be tested in advance using our pilot plants. Based on the individual requirements of our customers, we develop tailored solutions. SWISS COMBI stands for innovation, progress, and the ability to recognize market potential, as well as Swiss quality at the highest standards.
