Its Full Members are the national cement industry associations and cement companies of the European Union and the European Economic Area countries plus Poland, Switzerland and Turkey. Associate Members include the national cement associations of Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and the sole cement company in Estonia. The Association acts as spokesman for the cement sector towards the European Union institutions and other authorities, and communicates the industry’s views on all issues and policy developments likely to have an effect on the cement market in the technical, environmental, energy and promotion areas. Permanent dialogue is maintained with the European and international authorities and with other International Associations as appropriate. Serviced by a multi-national staff in Brussels, Standing Committees and issue-related Project Groups, established as required, enable CEMBUREAU to keep abreast of all developments affecting the cement industry. CEMBUREAU also plays a significant role in the world-wide promotion of cement and concrete in co- operation with member associations, and the ready-mix and precast concrete industries. The Association regularly co-hosts conferences on specific issues aimed at improving the image of concrete and promoting the use of cement and concrete products. Since its foundation in 1947, CEMBUREAU has developed into the major centre for the dissemination of technical data, statistics and general information on the cement industry world-wide.

Tokheim External partner: Norcem Kjøpsvik (Annika Steien, Manager of Process and Environment) Availability: Open Approved for archiving: ______________________________________________ (supervisor signature) The University of South-Eastern Norway takes no responsibility for the results and conclusions in this student report. www.usn.no Summary: SO2 emissions in the stack gas from the Norcem cement plant in Kjøpsvik was significantly higher than the permitted emission limit in 2017. The plant aims to reduce the emissions by installing a seawater flue gas desulphurization (SWFGD) technology, but an understanding of sulphur behaviour in the kiln process, identification of critical factors, determination of their impact and describing underlying principle behind their effects in the emissions are beneficial for future plant and SWFGD operation. This report presents an analysis of the SO2 emission characteristics in the kiln based on sulphur material balance, and regression model formulation using historical emission data and kiln tests. Analysis of the historical data shows that SO3 content in the kiln feed and rawmill operation mode are the most significant parameters which vary sulphur emission in the stack gas. In the analysis, it was discovered that bypass water supply, tyre feeding, RDF feeding, coal feeding and energy input per unit ton of clinker from rotary kiln fuels influence the emissions from the plant.
