CEMENT FACTORY IN BANGLADESH INSTALLS ADVANCED GAS GENSET

larke Energy in Bangladesh has delivered an in-situ power generation plant to Mir Cement Ltd., providing energy resilience with reduced costs and CO2 emissions at their cement grinding plant in Narayanganj. Jenbacher Type-6 gas genset, installed within the building structure of the facility. At full operating capacity, the plant is expected to grind 2.400 tonnes of cement per day, reports Clarke Energy.

Mr. A.K.M Zaidul Islam, Director Sales Clarke Energy Bangladesh, tells WIP magazine: “When we did the load analysis for Mir’s cement manufacturing unit, the ball mill block load was a major challenge identified. After having detailed discussions with our engineering department, we offered them an integrated solution wherein the offered Jenbacher genset runs in grid synchronized mode during the start of one of the ball mills and once the load has been stabilized, it switches to island / isolated mode of operation, making the installation grid independent”.
