Item Limestone Calcination Optimization of Vertical Container Oven(INSTITUTO DE TECNOLOGIA, 2015) SAGASTUME GUTIÉRREZ, Alexis; Manoel Henrique Reis NascimentoProducing lime demands high energy consumption and leads to significant CO₂ emissions. This study aims to establish a methodology to optimize limestone calcination in standard vertical kilns in Cuba, considering lime quality’s impact on the economic contribution margin. Tools such as exergy analysis and genetic algorithms were used. Major inefficiencies identified include combustion irreversibilities, heat transfer losses, and exergy loss through exhaust gases. Applying the methodology reduced energy consumption by 4.6% and improved lime quality by 5.3%.Item Preliminary Assessment of Potential Water Savings Actions by Cement Cienfuegos SA PML(INSTITUTO DE TECNOLOGIA, 2015) CABELLO ERAS, Juan Jose; ALVAREZ ACEVEDO, Arturo; SAGASTUME GUTIÉRREZ, Alexis; ROMERO CABRERA, Jorge Luis; PÉREZ GÓMEZ, Yabiel; Jandecy Cabral LeiteThe study conducts a quantitative analysis of the main water-consuming processes at Cementos Cienfuegos SA, proposing actions for savings through water reuse, collection, and rainwater utilization.
