Reliable Analysis of Building Materials
Cement is one of the most popular building materials of our time. This is due to its flexible application possibilities, easy processing, extraordinary stability and robustness. As it must meet the highest quality requirements, it is closely analyzed throughout the entire production process. This ensures that product quality is maintained, intermediate products are assessed, and the cement used suits each application.
Cement's strength and durability are directly affected by its chemical composition. It is critical to monitor carbon and sulfur during the entire production process. From the feedstocks clay and limestone to raw meal, clinker, gypsum, and other additives up to the final product of cement, our combustion elemental analyzers, like the multi EA 4000, help you determining TS and TC/TOC/TIC sum parameters. You can also use them to monitor TC, TS, and chlorine contents in combustibles, like fossil or solid recovered fuels, used to fire the cement kilns. This is crucial to prevent corrosion and excessive emissions of HX and SO2. Metal elements, such as Ca, Al, Fe, Si, and their proportion indicate the type and quality of the cement and are analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. We support you making your cement analysis quicker, more efficient and profitable along the complete value chain.
