The tiny cement plants are having a capacity of ranging
from 20tpd to 50tpd. These cement plant are either based on
vertical shaft kiln or rotary kiln technologies. The
predominant air pollutant emitted on from such plant is SPM
(Suspended Particulate Matter). Control of SPM (Suspended
Particulate Matter) can be achieved by installing ESP
(Electrostatic Precipitators), Bag houses and Wet scrubbers
but these equipments are highly cost intensive and may not be
feasible to be installed at such small scale cement plants on
techno-economical front. Hence, under the present context,
installation of cyclone appears to be a reasonable proposition,
which is reasonable cheaper and having low operating cost
