Re: Cement milling
I suggest you should raise the mill outlet temperature setpoint of the PID loop controlling the water injection rate. This should allow more water to be driven off the gypsum in the cement mill. At the same time you shouod attempt to maximise the cooling in the O-Sepa.

Cement milling Question 18
During winter time we have a problem with keeping the temperature high enough in the mill while grinding a blended type of cement. This problem is caused by false air that enters the system. Now we want to determine the amount of false air that enters do you know a accurate way to measerure it? And do you have a solution to solve this problem?

Re: Cement milling
The way to determine the amount of false air entering the mill would be to construct and masss and energy balance for the mill based on gas flow measurements around the circuit. The problem with low temperatures when grinding blended cements is a common one. The only solution is apply some heat energy either to preheat the mill ventilation air or pre-dry the components of the blended cement. Alternatively produce a different grade of blended cement during the winter with a lower proportion of supplementary cementitious material.
