The first Edition of the book came out in 2008. It covered all aspects of Designing Cement Plants- mainly Dry Process Cement Plants with 6 stage Preheaters and Calciners, Vertical Mills, Electro Static Precipitators and various auxiliary machineries as were prevalent then.
The base size for various workouts was 3000 TPD as was prevalent then.
It has begun to dawn on Cement Industry that it was responsible for emitting 5 % of the most common greenhouse gas - CO2. Cement Industry and Cement Plant and Process Designers began to apply their minds to make - GREEN Cement. - which emitted greenhouse gas in much less quantities by making blended cements, using alternate fuels and by recovering waste heat. Mr. Deolalkar's book 'Designing Green Cement Plants' dealing with these aspects came out in 2013.
Cement Industry was also growing in size simultaneously and the base size of 3000 TPD has been replaced by cement plants of + 10000 TPD or + 3mtpa capacity cement plants, requiring sea changes in machinery used therein.
This Second Edition of the Handbook includes all aspects of the basic concepts dealt with in the Handbook but also includes aspects of making green cement. The base capacity is now 10000 TPD. Therefore it has been named Handbook for Designing Green Cement Plants.
This book will also be found to be very useful to the Cement Industry.
