"The project being developed with our industrial partners at the CEMEX Balcones facility in New Braunfels, Texas, is generating an initial engineering design and constructability review to determine if the application of an advanced industrial membrane capture technology at a cement plant is feasible," said NETL's Carl Laird, federal ...
Rules in Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 117, for controlling emissions of nitrogen oxides from cement kilns. These rules are part of the State Implementation Plan strategy to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone.
Maxwell Pisciotta, a Ph.D. candidate in the Clean Energy Conversions Laboratory at Penn and co-author of the study, says if cement factories either switched from coal-fired kilns to oxygen-fired ...
The Swiss-based company Holcim is the largest cement producer in the U.S. It's plant in Midlothian is the No. 1 polluter in all of North Texas, pumping out 7,952 tons of total emissions in 2019.
These limitations mandate that residents residing near cement kilns be evaluated for adverse health effects. This study reports findings from a symptom survey conducted in Midlothian, Texas, which adds to the limited but growing body of knowledge showing that persons living near cement kilns are experiencing increased respiratory effects.
SUMMARY: The EPA is finalizing approval of revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). We are approving the rules in 30 TAC Chapter 117 that the State submitted on May 30, 2007, concerning control of emissions of NO X from cement kilns operating in Bexar, Comal, Ellis, Hays, and McLennan Counties. We are approving the nonsubstantive …

(a) As an alternative to complying with the requirements of §117.265 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications) in Bexar, Comal, Ellis, Hays, and McLennan Counties, an owner or operator may reduce total nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions (in pounds per day (ppd)) from all cement kilns at the account (including any cement kilns placed ...
The reuse of industrial wastes in cement kilns is an environmentally sound option for recycling waste and conserving natural resources. Nearly 20 cement kilns throughout the U.S. utilize regulated waste as supplemental fuel. To use this material as a fuel, the U.S. EPA's Boiler and Industrial Furnace (BIF) regulations demand:
Cement kilns can use waste fuels, recycled cement kiln dust, and recycled raw materials such as slags and fly ash. Various secondary materials can be incorporated as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in ... The leading cement-consuming States continued to be Texas, California, and Florida, in descending order by tonnage. Company ...
Cement kilns are well suited to safely use a variety of fuel sources with their relatively long burning-zone residences times of up to three seconds, high burning-zone temperatures (+1400C) and the alkaline environment that naturally exists in a kiln. Furthermore, cement kilns are already equipped with elaborate process-monitoring equipment and ...
