Balance y prospectiva energética aplicado a la industria cementera

Abstract

This study focuses on understanding and optimizing energy consumption in the cement industry through an analysis of energy balance using a Sankey flow diagram. The cement production processes are examined, with a particular focus on the grinding and dispatch area, in order to estimate the energy participation level of the various equipment involved. The aim is to improve energy efficiency in the cement industry, with the intention of reducing operational costs, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthening business sustainability. This is achieved through the use of specialized software to model and project possible scenarios that may arise in an industry with these characteristics. The information obtained from these models allows for the planning of strategies and future improvements in a more precise and informed manner. The importance of implementing efficient and sustainable energy management practices within cement sector companies is emphasized. This will not only contribute to improving their competitiveness in the market but also demonstrate a solid commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
