Total power management for the cement industry

Power. Lots of power. Where does it all go? How much is it really costing the plant? Are there more effective ways of operating cement plants´? Cement manufacturing facilities run the gamut from aging relics (at the far reaches of even more ancient power systems) to the most sophisticated, high-tech process plants you´ll find anywhere. What all of these plants share is a seemingly insatiable appetite for power. The goal of this paper is to give some practical steps for how to go about implementing a simple yet effective continuous power monitoring solution. The value of continuous power monitoring comes in many forms, the greatest value of which is realized by those who take a proactive approach to maintaining their facility and maximizing its value.
