The biggest challenge for KEIL was the required use of various storage media with different chemical composition. Therefore, special focus was given to finding the right technical solution to increase corrosion resistance. Additionally, high precision monitoring cycles were developed in cooperation with the German Institute of Civil Engineering (DIBt).
The tank trucks deliver the materials which are pumped into storage tanks using the gas displacement technique. The gases, which are displaced from the tanks during the filling process, are then safely returned to the tank trucks. Pumps and pipelines are used to transfer the stored media to the cement kiln. Parts of the storage tanks and pipelines are heated (up to the range from -15°C to 90°C).
